Recent Decline In Population

[Deathrydar]

I remember when Kunark released, I logged on to the server screen just to see how many people were online on a Sunday night and there were about 1200 people online. I was like, OMFG!!!

A couple weeks later, I did the same thing on a Sunday night.....there were over 1100 people online.

When I started playing again in May, over 1,000 were online on that particular Sunday night.

Yesterday, I logged on and noticed that there were 710 people online, which by no means is a low population for a private server, but it brings up the question, where did 300-500 people go in such a short amount of time? This is not a one time affair, it seems to be decreasing on a weekly basis. I understand the "newness" of the Kunark release wearing off, but c'mon.....

I am eager to hear Norrath's opinion on this. I guess it would be a waste of time to ask that everyone keep the flaming to a minimum?
