Your looking at it the wrong way.

I would like to see these statistics claiming how player base is dwindling. From what I understand, populations have been up from normal on many servers. Even on my own server, I've noticed an increase in player activity. However, as this is just an eyeball account, I will not present it as an absolute statistic.

Your statistics are coming from...where again?

It wouldn't surprise me if you're the same kind of person that claims so adamantly that "50%" of the player base is going to leave when subscription fees hit.

You need to see statistics that this game has a tiny playerbase that quickly dwindles after a week or 2 of each patch....most of us see that every time one pops up. Do you think the populations is just going to shoot up when charging starts?
