On ignore or not
I would not be too concerned about numbers right now. In IN area summer has been like CA. Everyone is outside doing stuff, including myself. Never stop finding ways to bring players in.
I still see new names and returns, pretty much every time I log in. As always, in almost any game, numbers are highest at prime time, 7p-10p CT. You may not notice it as much in games with bigger audiences, but is and always has been,.. except maybe during winter.
If everything stays normal, you'll see numbers start to climb when snowbirds go into fall, which is not far off.
