What is up with the xfire numbers for the last few days?  since the 18th it has tripled in popularity.  I know Cryptic was bought out by Perfect World, did they just get added to their website or something?  Or is there something else going on?  It's kinda wierd having that drastic of a jump in just 2 or 3 days.

Makes sense, just seems like a huge jump for such a thing, but that's the best explanation i've seen, so i'll go with it!

I think it may also have a lot to do with the new F2P promotion at Steam.  A few days ago CO was the featured F2P game and you received an in game sidekick if you played it.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about that.  Combined with what the other poster said, sounds like we have a double winner.
