Ouch really sad looking numbers on xfire.  Looks like it is destine to fall below city of heros in ranking in a couple of days or if you add city of heros and city of villians I guess CO has already dropped below...

For anyone playing the game how many people are still playing say in the desert zone?  100?  200?

Looks like CO has held its position and COX has dropped some.  Is this game getting better?  Have they added anything since blood moon?

^{I have been playing the game since beta.  I am not a typical mmo player and this is not typical mmo.  I would say numbers have stayed pretty steady after they settled down after free month trial or went to Aion.  I also did Aion since beta, own it and havn't played more than an hour since CO went retail.  Played coh/v too,  TR, MCO (motor city online), Planetside I was disapointed but Only because they hyped is completely different and changed the last year prior release.  But CO is Pure Fun for me.  No bows and arrows, riding camels or mutant rhinosisouris around.  Just big Blasting Power blowing mobs over buildings.  Uh, sorry I exagerated a little :).  But I swear last time I played I thought about an add on annimation pulling a tape measure the lenth of terrain you blew or threw the mob.  Was hitting a group on sidewalk sending them accross 4 lanes almost onto the roof accross highway.   It is not the usual mmo and playing them since they evolved from text (zork, etc.).   Give me a modern arsenal full of rocket launchers, chainguns, atomic arrows (I lied there are bows and arrows in CO) or some mega blasting eye poping powers over a whack a mole mallet, club any day of the week.  I cant wait till APB releases.  Sounds like it has all the above and just plain ass nasty to boot.   K, gonna see if CO servers are back up.  It is a good game,  Really,  I wish it sucked, then maybe I would have a life again.  Well it does keep me off the streets so everyone else in town is happy.   I will never forget when Carmegeddon was out.  Neither will the neighborhood I played it in.  That would be the ultimate mmo if you think about it.  Not like auto assault but the adult version.}
