Right now, <strong>there are about 66,000 players on average playing at the same time<\/strong>, which is not bad at all&#8230; if it weren&#8217;t for the fact that it&#8217;s 65% less than last month. And usually, when a trend starts to gain strength, there is no one who can stop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is the added problem? That without more players, the story will continue much slower. In the end, the game&#8217;s narrative requires reaching certain abnormally long numbers that can only be achieved in a large, immense, gargantuan community. <strong>Hundreds of thousands of players must row towards the same place at the same time<\/strong>. And they simply&#8230; are no longer there. They could lower the numbers, but it would be accepting defeat, and the current community might feel it&#8217;s time to jump ship. It&#8217;s not easy, to be honest: behind victory awaited another crossroads. Only this time, the enemy&#8230; is themselves.
