I think we had an artificially induced high population when the 2x exp was in place as well. It was enticing enough to get the "sleepers" (long time, multiple 50's account holders) to roll a new alt. When the exp dropped back to normal, they went dormant again. Who knows how many of these folks are monitoring the forums, waiting for word of Kunark. Id be willing to bet that the Kunark launch will see atleast a 50% boost to our max population (maybe up to 1,500 people as new record)? Not that people are losing interest, they are just biding their time. Also, some of these are the folks with hundreds of thousands of plat sequestered away, so expect rapid inflation when they come back!
I personally am thrilled at the prospect of our P99 setting an Emu population record
