playerbase down 25% in 4 months?

its supposedly one of the bigger ones....and if that is the case then yes, it might actually be inflated #s.

Saying there is more then 30-40k people actually playing is being delusional.

Wait, I've something for ya: There you go.
If I say that Cornelia has 25% - of its population, it doesn't mean that Mysidia, Selbina, Gysahl and every other high-populated server has fewer population.

It's still a loss for that server though. Just... don't say that 25% of the entire playerbase is down please. It leads to miscommunication =)

no people always use a sample base for anything to give statistics. if 25% of one group feels this way or that way it is a good probability that they are not alone. if you use one server and say it lost 25% then yes not every server will be the same, but it will be a reasonable statistic to show.

some servers may have lost 5% and some may have lost 50%, but the truth is if one is losing it is reasonable to believe they are all losing. we could have said 40% of the playerbase left and that the 25% was the low end, but we used statistical data collected to base that stance on instead.

once you show a sample that shows that one server is not still losing members then yours could be used as a counter argument, but at this point that does not exist.

Yeah gotcha, but don't say that 25% of the ENTIRE playerbase is down. It leads to miscommunication =)
