correct me if im wrong, but wasn't the population increasing before the global got taken off? so its pretty pointless to bring growth into the argument.
Someone had asked earlier in the thread if the population had stopped growing since the ooc change. I was stating that it had not and that it probably would not for a while as more new people means even more new people because of word of mouth.

My point was in fact that these numbers were completely useless for determining the effect the OOC change had on the server. You instead need to look certain groups and see what has happened with them due to the change. Just looking at total population is not really a great way to measure the health of the server. Retention imo is more important. If 50 new people start playing every single day... But only 2 of them play for more than a few weeks having 10000000 level 15s on the server doesn't really make for a great classic experience imo... *shrug*
