I'm sorry, but you're way off base.
First of all, yes, we closed two continents. If you had actually read my previous post, you would have seen that it was saying that after those two continents were closed, the decline leveled off. Thus, every single thing you said here is irrelevant to that.
Second of all, you have to go back at least 3-4 years before you get to double the numbers we have now. And we've never had more than 4 times what we have now, so your "12 years ago" is just total BS.
2008 was the peak, when we had around 2000 players. Before then it was steadily rising. At that time it plateaued, then started a long slow decline.
But let me repeat the most salient point for you: The decline has stopped, or at least slowed down so much as to be imperceptible now.
Whatever anecdotal evidence you have, whatever feeling you have that the game is doomed and there's nothing left but to wait for its inevitable end, it's not borne out by the actual statistics. So look to the log in your own eye before you go calling other people condescending, please.
Off base, are you counting players registered or are you counting daily/weekly activity? If you counting registered yeah I'd agree, but if you are looking at the actual statistic that matters it's daily/weekly activity. Those are the true player statistic. We could have a 1000 registered users, but if only 300 log in a week... that not saying once.
BS that we had at on point 1200-1500 active players in a week? Come now it's been awhile, but it was once real.
Do you state that this threads statistics are not real?
