Tencent’s Tarisland certainly surprised our testers during its recent beta, given its rep as a WoW clone that doesn’t want to be called a WoW clone, but the company’s dropped an infographic from the test that suggests players agreed with us. The studio says that players killed an average of 1200 bosses every day of the test, managed to get themselves killed 1.38M times total (65 dead players every minute), and played a total of 1.24M hours split among them. You also spent nearly 8000 hours fishing in a beta, which… well, no need to ask why developers keep putting fishing into MMOs. It’s because you like fishing.
Perhaps more usefully, Tencent also has a breakdown of class and craft. Rangers were by far the most-selected character class; nearly three times as many people went for the Ranger as the Warrior. “Warriors are the least chosen, with only 10790, but Tarisland needs more brave Warriors,” the studio said. Maybe the studio needs to make Warriors more appealing, eh? Likewise, forging was by far the MVP craft profession, trailed by alchemy and artisan.
