this persons opinion is invalid because people leave and need to be replaced, the inflow of people should be greater than or equal to the inactivity flow. Also i really doubt less real money purchases is a bad thing for toribash, as new players generally want to purchase nice things, and if it costs real money to buy nice things then they may spend it.

on another note I've only ever gotten 3 people to seriously play toribash(blue belt+) but they eventually got bored of it because they didnt care about forums or irc and lets be honest there are only so many things you can do with a ragdoll before it gets repetitive and annoying, while the same is true of COD some people like flashy graphics and such more than skill. I personnally still find it fun after so many years and this is the only game i still actively play.
