there were 4 when i joined.

also your quotation is a little off.
"highest amount of players since three years ago" should be "highest amount of subscribers since three years ago"

yes, 15$ subs that people had to pay for to get the expansion. if you want to conclude that mean most players, or that people didnt just unsub after one month like 90% of the people i know, then be my guest. the denial train seems to be packed.

what does this have to do with anything?

if you were never on fleet then you were never there. it's a relative comparison.

You know. I've been either playing or following this game since before it launched and if I had a dollar for each thread that has said this game is dead or dying I would have enough to higher someone to count the number of threads claiming this while I drive around town in a gold plated bugatti

People who avoid the fleet has ALWAYS avoided the fleet, its no different now than it once was. People who go their for a quick crew training skills, for gear, to pick up a mission, or to store something is in and out and has been like that probably since the launch of strongholds.

If fleet has 20% of the population total playing, and fleet was considerably smaller, than it would be safe to say that the overall population of the game is smaller.

Nope it's not safe to say that because of a changing player base and guild ships.

Oh come on Pagy... I know I haven't been here that long but you should know if anything im on the "game is dying train" if anything .

My bad with the quotes however, and im pretty sure most of the people who got sucked into KOTFE did the 1-9 chapter and left already.

Ayup.

That's why they amuse me. To further amuse myself, I'm keeping track of some of the naysayers' names so that, in future, when they start up again, I can cheerfully remind them that their prediction of the game's demise ("it won't last another _____") was codswallop.

Or that the dynamic of the player base has shifted to more non fleet oriented players.

Guild ships have been out for a long time, and strongholds even longer, and these provide the same functions for the most part unless your a conquest player, and even then it takes two mins to move the ship.

People who avoided the fleet at all costs has always done so, those who stay on fleet doing whatever seemed to have dwindled lately.
