How these estimates are made

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Final Fantasy XIV Online is estimated to have 72k – 250k players a day. Around 1m – 3m accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.

Merc Zone

Merc Zone is estimated to have 19 – 9k players a day. Around 9k – 920k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
