Never

If you compare one monday with a previous monday, and not with the day before, then you only need to read this thread to see that numbers actually increased during several of the previous weeks.


There were definitely increases in Monday to Monday user numbers in January and February. March/April has actually not been kind, as when I take the compound weekly change rate in the last five weeks (from 3/14-4/18), total World's compound weekly change rate is -0.5%. US is actually up +0.05% during this same time frame. This is a specifically steeper drop off for total World, which when looked at from the most recent 12 weeks, is down -0.18% per week, which means the first seven weeks of that 12 week period actually enjoyed a +0.05% growth rate.

For reference, the average compound weekly change over the life of me tracking these numbers (since last August) for total World is -0.25%

Hopefully, this recent steeper drop will subside. Based on how the numbers ebb and flow, it seems like they will.

Caring for rhe game and only brining up negative things about the game really doesn't go hand in hand in my book though.
I care a lot for this game as I spend way to much time here for my own best sometimes. But I don't go around the forums spreading doom and gloom post where ever I go.
Some users seems to only care about those negative sides and not bring forth any positivity.


I care very much about the game. I pay supporter since the very early days and I' ve just done it for 12 monthes more.
But I don't live with my head under the sand. Now I see all the efforts about merging nations, 500+ posts in that topic and I'm sure that like Utopia this will not bring any change in the negative curve of users. Visibility is the only thing and there's no any idea to advertise the game. If there were a raising fund campaign to advertise the game I would pay immediately, I'd prefer to give 10 bucks to give visibility to BB than have an useless second team in an alien nation.

But you all go on with your merging project. I'm sure that you'll find the better solution to have balanced challange between micro and macro. But no one outside will know it.


I was thinking about this recently, too, and did a search on free advertising platforms to see how it would be possible to draw more people into the game. Hmmm... I'm going to make a suggestion in the suggestion forum...

Well, you and I share those sentiments.
