playerbase down 25% in 4 months?

[viion]

Aaah, 2-chan script kiddies that think they can produce valid statistics with an empyrical crawler.

That crawler only tracks accounts that shown a change in the SP totals. Guess what? someone that's at 50 already and does only activities that pertain his maxed classes (NM hunting, dungeons, crafting and so forth) does NOT have any increase in SP.

The more time goes on, the more people get to cap in all the classes they want, and dedicate themselves only to endgame activities (that in this game aren't numerous, but they do exist, and can still fill up someone's time unless he plays a lot), according to that crawler, all those people are considered "inactive".

Good job producing a completely invalid statistic there.

Hey umm..

It doesn't track chars with full rank 50s, I built one of these script for network sites a while back and it wouldnt surprise me if they used it (or modded it). I also run a site based on in-game activity (not just SP but everything you do ingame) and things are gradually slowing down, but more like 25% over 8 months.

But we all know you'd defend the game if it gave your cancer.


If you dont want to believe in that, look at the producer letter compared to the last one, dropped 50% in views and NA 33%. (30k/10k respectively), interest is dying.
