This thread is not, "why TB sucks these days?" or "Everything was better in 2009"

I'd like to know if there's any data on the amount and the activity of players over the years. It'd be nice to see the playerbases growth, and the possible decline these days.
Maybe even learn something from it.



Thanks to sir for this info

We had most users on the week following Steam release, 25k users daily average.
More people playing when it's summer, less people all other time.
Also as you can see we now have more active users than in 2009. Less than shortly after Steam release of course, but still that's more than ever before that.

Toribash can't be dying if we have more members now than we did back in the "golden days". Is there just a shortage of intelligence and artistic ability, then?

I think it's just a matter of perception. People look at the past through rose-tinted glasses. Also, when you first get into the game and the forums, everything is all fun and exciting. That'll tend to wear off after a year or two, so naturally everything seems like it was shitter than it was when you first started.

most of the games that never really wear off for a long time are generally multiplayer games, human interaction (albeit online) always freshens up games.

Is there any in depth statistics on the playerbase after the ranking changes some month ago?
