That's the population averages for the past 3 Sundays 5/6, 5/13, and 5/20.

Instead of taking bets on how low the population is going to go, why not put forth some real ideas to help fix it?

tl;dr let's try positive thinking instead of negative thinking

50,000? That's awesome compared to the average around the mid 30s. Keep trying.

I want a correlation between average players online, and average temperature. I'll bet that has more impact than most would think.

Considering it is just after "expansion" its pretty telling.

I personally blame it for pretty much avarage expansion, 0.0 neglection and its stagnation, summer and inability to do anything with technetium .

I'm willing to bet that it is going to be higher than last Sunday, however don't quite me on that. This spring has been really, really nice so far.

What is telling? He said himself that all his numbers are for the three Sundays prior to the expansion.

Even incarna(as every expansion) had very big spike in players ( before it wend down badly becuase incarna was a failure )
Poor expansion expectations perhaps ??

This Sunday will be the first Sunday since release.

I feel a candidate for seeing the ebb and flow of players would be during the later stages of the Alliance Tournament when CCP holds their maximum current players online contest. A few years ago they got close to 60,000 or so (I do not have the numbers in front of me, much less remember exact figures); whereas last year the number was quite substantially lower - around 49,000 if I remember a ball park number.

Granted, after last year's fiasco ending, players might have been turned off watching the tournament and this year might suffer for it...

PCUs have been going up since the expansion. My guess for tomorrow is ~45k — up by 2k since last week.

Let's see, forget the time of the year for the majority of the players and forget that Diablo III is still sucking many gamers time.
