Is your FC population declining recently?

[Lissyl]

My FC is gaining members, but fewer people are on at any given time. However, this is completely normal in any game -- the busiest time with the most concurrent connections is always in the first weeks, then people begin to fall into a pattern of play that is more typical of their lives.

This, of course, doesn't count player churn which is also part and parcel for any game. Even the greatest game ever made will lose somewhere between 25 and 50% of its players early on. That's why new players are important. I was running a guy through Toto-rak the day before yesterday who had just bought the game along with his friend. These are the people that will make or break the game and keep our FC's healthy.
