It has me wondering if maybe looking at a one front, two country war might be worth it. I know there were reasons in the past that said it is a bad idea. But with the numbers game lately, the 12 hour switch time, and the more often then not strategy to attack where no one is, makes me wonder if limiting the front a bit and allowing for more coordination in defending would help promote the fight.
I don't know the player number stats, but it sure feels like we're down in players and it makes the action even more spread out on the larger maps which allows for avoiding actual combat that much easier.
