If it ain't broke don't fix it

If you mean number of active players, it didn't start recently.

You are wrong. And I'm slightly tired of reading this, so I prepared a chart based on monthly
Server-Boy statistics: http://i47.tinypic.com/abnq5h.gif
Sadly no data from the first 9.5 months, so I only drew an approximation based on my memory
and the trend.
I don't remember exactly how it was in the very beginning, but as far as I remember "over 500
people" was always the largest peaks, if someone played only during peak hours then I suppose
that's what the player remembers as "normal"...
But I'm quite sure that in February 2010 over 500 people was already unusual. Izual and me made
the over-hyped NCR defense event back then, it was done on weekend evening, advertised on the
forum for several days, and I do remember quite clearly that we noticed the number of players on
the server went to over 500 during the event and I thought that there is as many players as in the
beginning of the OBT.
If there is any stability then it's now (although maybe not with as many players as you would like).

Nice screenshot, hehe good times. Sadly, you seem to be right. :'(

So, the game has been dying for a long time now. Nothing new, moving on.

The very chart you show me, shows the playerbase slowly declining, the largest drop and where we're stuck now after the last wipe.
So uh, what? Unless I'm reading it wrong?

I remember 300-400 being normal and very alive. At night it was maybe 150-250. On the weekends,
My time naturally -.-.

By stability, I am mostly saying that:
stable = enough players to not feel like it's a dead game, and you could predict at what times how many players would be online.
It used to be, 350-400 at very peak hours, 250-300 before and just after peak. and then it dropped to about 100-200 randomly. Right now it's at 200 peak, 50-100 at lowest. This is ridiculous.
