honestly, how long can you play an unchanging game? would u just sit and play the original mario every single day for the next few years? no. you'll beat it and move on to mario 2 (unless you suck, then give up and move on to 2).
now what about a game that allows you to keep playing indefinitely. well, i dont see an AL 2 anywhere. so there must be some sort of changes or improvements to keep people interested. has anyone LOOKED at the userlist?
Showing users 1 to 100 of 553.
this is ONE HALF of the active users one year ago. maybe THATS why the credit market is tanking? maybe it DOES have to do with the game being stale as fuck? good lord use some fucking logic
Chill brah. This game has a new coder. Wait and see if they come through with anything and give them the benefit of the doubt. If they don't come through with at least catching the game up (ie. peoples prizes from last year) then we can cause a ruckus.

this game never had 1100 ACTIVE users

i counted 654...
also, sometimes people just get bored even if theres new stuff its still basically the same game. only thing that could make it new would be graphics. i dont see that happening. people that havent played would never know the difference in whats new and whats not.

the active users rise and fall with the seasons... peak activity is in winter, and lowest in summer.
Has fallen about 15-20% from last year tho.
and when I started, we did have 1400 active members at one point.... and if memory serves, 40+ active gangs averaging 12 or 14 players each.
