22 in 4 days. That is impressive.
Whoever is able to overcome consumer apathy like that is surely going to be head-hunted by the big firms on Madison Avenue...

Personally, I attribute this to grassroots outrage over Freemium being kicked out of tournaments, ....but who really knows?

Summer lull is usually 10%, what was the winter peak? If it was 4K that means ~3600 ish for summer is what I’d guess but at this point we might eclipse the 10% even

..and now 3,760 mate … do we have anymore special events eg valentines, st Patrick’s, Easter coming up ?
Those things usually magically ;) create new players.
I find it hard to believe we’re going to not go under 3,600 with it being an Olympic and Euro football championships summer..copa America too.

That's not quite what I'm saying. I'm saying that, even if we were to make it above 1000 in the coming 2 weeks, there will be a month where we won't make it above 1000 next year, and that it's likely that there will NOT be a month were we will make it above 1000 in 2025.


Think we’re about to have that month .. we may have already had one but I didn’t notice ,this one looks a certainty though.

So... the difference between the 3000ish number and the 1000ish number is what?

It takes longer to fill games especially with more players. Like eight to twelve.

The latter is players who have completed 20 games within the month so are generally seen as the active user base although of course there are many serious players that don’t play that many games in a month.. the former (3,000ish) is the number of players taking at least 1 turn in the last 30 days.

Guys on the monthly 20 games number it just missed by 2 to hit 1,000 … soooo we have the month as was predicted with that abysmal amount.

So those are both numbers measuring participation, not premium membership?

allthough, of course, to be able to complete 20 games in a single month a freemium is difficult.

Another new low: this is the first time that the dutch speaking top 50 ( viewtopic.php?f=173&p=5323108#p5323609 ) has listed a Lieutenant.
