How Many Players Have Achieved Max Rank?

Hello All:

I'm curious: How many players are currently sitting at rank 5,455 in GW2, and at rank 313 in GW1?

Is this info posted on an EA/PopCap website somewhere? If so, what's the pointer to it?

Thank you!

  • I probably wouldn't hold your breath thinking that the development team would pull server resources for such a database query and then publish the results for all to see.

    Many times companies will not release such numbers because revealing usage details can be double-edged sword; if your numbers are higher than the public expects or about where they expect it can work in your favor but if they are lower then the public expects then it can be detrimental as the game could consequently be branded as "unpopular" or the game community as "dying" even if the game is just as populated and healthy, in a relative way, as it was in the past.

    Hey @CookeV

    @realitysquared is right, it's unlikely these are numbers that we would be able to get and disclose.

    It's good to get a summary from the community though like you have been.

  • Hi EA_Andy & RealitySquared:

    You're probably right. I was hoping for something akin to the psnprofile.com "Platinum Achievers" count, but for max rank.

    I hadn't considered the marketing impacts of the request.

    Thanks again, I'll mark RealitySquared's response as "accepted".

    PS: As of this morning, psnprofiles was showing 3,316 platinum achievers. But remember that the actual count is probably higher since you have to opt-in to psnprofiles.

  • Darn!

    I marked my reply as "accepted" instead of RealitySquared's!

    If anyone reads this far: check out RealitySquared's reply. That's the good one that I wanted marked as accepted!

    Sorry for the mix-up, folks!

    I'm max in both but I see a lot of lower levels in GW2 as opposed to GW1 where the average player level seems much higher.

    And as Realitysquared pointed out most game companies are loathe to release player counts for a variety of reasons. My friend and I jumped on TT last night to get the 'Smarter than a computer' quest done and had no issues getting players on PC and I didn't recognize any of them which is a good sign.
