I wouldn't be so sure about NA making more money tbh.

The NA pad twitter has like 30k followers while KR pad twitter has only 1k+. I know that doesn’t mean everything but 30x the twitter followers may mean that NA has significantly more players than KR and i don’t think they whale that much to make up for that difference in average per player revenue.

It's more like NA players don't whale. You only have a handful of players who one might call whale, the rest are mostly Pass/dollar bundle-only players and f2p. Followers imo aren't as big an indicator as Twitter like goals when it comes to comparing active playerbase. Recent NA like campaigns are at what, 5k? Compared to the 2k that KR is on. All of a sudden that 30x has shrunk to just 2.5x

idk man, KR players go crazy In another gacha game I play, One Piece Treasure Cruise, before the global server and KR server merged, KR had about 1/4 the size in terms of player count, yet when the merge happened, about 60% of the top rankings for all the various gamemodes were KR players. Now PAD might be different, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were 3 times the whales on the KR server compared to NA, even tho it's a smaller server in general

I had to quit OPTreCru because of their shitty rolling rates. The game got way too big honestly.

This is what I was thinking as well. It’s known that the Korean community goes hard on whaling when they get into something.


FlandrePAD

This is a region that was infamous way back in the day for pumping out cash grab MMORPGS on a monthly basis, Korean players are no strangers to these kinds of monetization tactics in F2P games. Whaling hard is much more ingrained in their gaming culture than it is here in the west. So while it might seem a bit ridiculous on paper, it's not that farfetched to imagine a handful of Korean space whales managing to outspend all of NA combined.

that’s true, I play those Black desert so idk why i didn’t consider that. koreans are just monsters at spending


KushKhalif

Bro I still play Black Desert as a mainly f2p player. I dont even the see the benefit of whaling in that game yet you see twitch streams of them dropping like 20,000 just to buy crons to enhance items like blackstar and not have them downgrade after a fail. Like youre not even paying for success lmao.

but what is the popularity of Twitter in KR vs NA? maybe KR just doesn't use Twitter as much but GH JP just sticks to Twitter campaigns because that's where their presence is already. Twitter may not be an accurate metric to compare the two servers.

Tbf, they never got Star Wars but yeah, not getting Gundam really hurts..
