Guild Wars 2

I was just curious as to how many people are solo q’ing. Specifically, I am wondering whether the rankings of the top 1000 is pretty much everybody or is it just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyone wanna make a guess.

It took 2.5 days for the NA ladder to hit 1,000.

I wasn’t keeping up with EU but I did know they had more people on the ladder than NA did when NA was around 500 EU was around 750.

We should have an estimate for how many people have done 11 games when people who are just outside the leaderboards see their percentile and get on the boards after 1 win. Say they’re at 90% and they win once and they’re at position 970 or something. Then you know you’d have around 10.000 people on the boards.

so if we were to make a rough guess?

I would guess over 50,000.

NA team leaderboards had 20,000+ players, since you could at least go to 95% before moving onto the top 1000 (not sure if you could go higher). If the 500-750 split Lux posted is indicative, then EU would have had 30,000+. So that’s 50,000 playing team queues, although not all active, could be any number of players who just queued a few games one week and never played again.

Solo queue will get more, although I don’t know how much more.

Ok so the leaderboards of 1000 is just the tip of the iceberg then.

Kind of. They’ve only been up a few days, and contrary to forum opinion, most people don’t play every day. As of yet I would say there are under 2k players NA who have played enough games to get a rating.
