Game Server Popularity

Post by spook »

Are there any statistics available about the popularity of servers ?

I can only make guesses about the order:

- WBaduk most popular
- Tygem
- Fox
- IGS
- OGS
- KGS
...

Does that seem right ?

I just found all necessary statistics on Senseis Library.
https://senseis.xmp.net/?GoServers , which lists the amount of visitors.

That order seemed to be pretty accurate. (Fox is more popular than Tygem though)

Most of them have vavrious active user stats you could record at varous times of the day, e.g. right now
- Fox has 3868 desktop users, 1027 mobile and 323 games(?).
- KGS has 536 users and 214 games.
- OGS has 78 live games (16k correspondence)
- IGS has 1058 players and 205 games

Yike has observer stats on their pro broadcasts and I've seen huge numbers like half a million for top games.
