Perhaps in some part but then very few players stay around long enough for that to actually be the case.

SE keeps pushing out ever increasing player numbers. 14 million people have played this game... but the active population is much the same as it was way back in 2.0..

Hell there still running the same servers they were back then. Now yes they did add a few but that was for reasons of latency and an EU data centre not overcrowding populations.. half the servers we have are still as dead as they have ever been. Which is why they added cross server functionality in the first place to combat the low populations
