Why has the playercount dropped so dramatically?
Your Opinion on why the playercount had dropped by so much...
E.g. On Zone we use to have 80+ on peak times but now its hard for it to even pass 40.. which is extremely boring...

I Blame Gelats =] And the removal of lifetime classic, also the changes added to the trial system but that's just talking from a zone players point a view
From zodiac i believe a lot of players quit because of the removal of lifetime classic as well as not being able to pay them separately.
