Actually, according to press release it's "over 175,000" which means it's
less than 180,000

Could the recent snafu's by Verant be impacting the number of people still
playing?

Could announcing server splits 24 hours before they're going to happen be
driving people insane with anger and causing them to quit permanently?

Could arbitrarily assigning coin only loot to a pvp server have pissed some
customers off to the point they quit?

hmmmmmm

makes ya wonder ;)

Last month the official releases were "Over 200,000 registered users". So
roughly 25,000 people quit this month......

Thoughts to ponder.
