That Which He Does Not Play

I mean, if the game was truly hemorrhaging players, why then is there plans to add more servers?

Sure, if someone joined during the WoW exodus with other WoW players who played and decided it wasn’t for them them then yeah, you would see a lot of like minded people leaving. Doesn’t mean the entire game matches that.

You also can’t compare stats month to month as there are ups and downs in the expansion cycle. You will always see a huge boost when a new expac drops, with a steady wave of up/down til the next drop. Rather look at it in something like a 2 year block.

If you want to talk actual numbers in a 2 year block, you can get an idea looking at Steam stats. You will see September 2020 sitting at about 19k on steam. This went way up as Endwalker was nearing release in 2021 to like 31k. Now that we’re back to lull time it’s down to 26kish, but still higher than the last lull in 2020.
