SA internet service provider Mweb has dealt some numbers on its popular servers and games being played by South African gamers.<\/p>\n
Mweb has over 250 game servers which count for more than 60 different games being played online. While many of the older titles don\u2019t allow for stat-tracking, the big games do offer the ability to monitor the server usage at a player level.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have averaged over 60,000 online gamers a month on the MWEB network this year between 1 January and 30 April 2013,\u201d said Desmond Kurz, Online Gaming Manager at MWEB.<\/p>\n
With regards to the popular titles being played on Mweb servers, Kurz revealed that Dota 2 is among the games that pulls the biggest player base.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the launch of the Dota2 servers in March 2013, we have seen over 70,000 unique South African IP addresses connect to the Dota 2 servers, with the majority of those\u00a0 coming from gamers on an MWEB connection.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kurz also added that some of the older games, like Team Fortress 2, also remain popular. Team Fortress 2 has over 12,000 unique users connecting to the MWEB GameZone servers since Jan 2013.<\/p>\n
