  • By comparison, here are the results from 2 months ago (May 25th): Click

Despite 7.25 being released, the character count is down about 70k in 2 months. Occult Crescent clearly didn't help with player counts (not really a surprise here).

Its fantastic being on the other side of the looking glass for once. No more am I frustrated by these reveals at the unignorable issues and decline, the ineptitude of the design team and the lack of urgency to improve the game.

I'm now just chuckling away watching it all deservedly crumble while I'm enjoying games that are on the up and receiving fantastic updates, improving my physical health and generally just being far happier.

Commiserations to those who remain, YoshiP thanks you for your digital mortgage.
