Very explosive and aggressive rise all the way into Planes of Power.
WoW was a monster. We played the fuck out of Luclin/PoP then we dipped to WoW beta.
Facts.

what? From wikipedia:
The Shadows of Luclin 2001 December 4
The Planes of Power 2002 October 29
How do you figure aggressive to PoP?? That's a really odd comment, bro.
The increase in subs abruptly stops while all the pre-luclin hype is cast into the machine from SOE - just months before it's release.

I totally agree though that WoW did a lot of damage, to both EQ1&2 (I only played 4months of WoW years later, hated it, then was hacked too heh). Though that wasn't until end of 2004. That's a stagnate point in 2001 there, that never recovered.

You might like it, and that's fine, but obviously most didn't, or subs would have kept growing. But... abruptly stopped. Then you figure the turnover numbers, which there would likely still be new players coming in, but old players leaving. That slight increase is very slight, still stagnating, especially considering turnover.
