I have seen lots of new names.

The important delicate question that I will ask is...

What is the percentage of colonial and Non Colonial new starters.

While it might not translate into # of subscriptions, I think it's good evidence that numbers are rising, especially over a time period.

Actually, hours played is much more interesting for me as a player, because it almost translates into activity and players online. Subscription numbers are the business side of it. There could be more subscribers (great for HTC) but still less players online (bad for the customer)

That being said, numbers went up with the release, followed by an immediate even larger drop. In the past 2 months the numbers seem to have stabilised, possibly even climbing a tiny bit. But still less than before the release of the new version. But then, after the release of AH2 there was a much larger drop in numbers and it took AH a long time to get back to pre release levels.

More players for sure.  Interesting though many of these new names play like AH veterans.

My guess is that more players are returning than we are seeing brand new players to the game as a whole.  Either way, it means for more action for everyone.

And yes, please be *that guy* and help a new player out wherever possible.  :cheers:

HTC does not share their subscription numbers with me. It's an outrage  :old:

This is an outrage. We need pie charts and bar graphs Snail style.

I've seen lots of people from Pomerania, the Seleucid Empire, and the Achaean League.

Just let me turn 2 times before you kill me.I run from everything, I HO when ever it presents itself, (I cant help it) and I steal a kill every now and again I will be back soon. :x

I have been running across more new players.

Shamus at your advanced age and state of mind it is more likely folks you already know but forgot about in the past five minutes or so. Hajo for example is not a new player! .........  :old: :)
