How would I explain this games never changing formula?

I don't. I rarely see them. Also you can't say they are joining because that could purely be them doing a trial to see how it is.

I've seen several people say their goodbyes in Novice Chat of Odin as they get closer to being unable to participate in it anymore. I've explained to people the stages of being recruited as a friend and seen people ask when they can use their cool Coeurl mount. I recognize sprouts with questions that have been in the chat longer than two weeks. There are definitely new non-trial players out there on our server.
