EPTThey will probably play periodically, and when friends are on.
Also keep in mind a lot of people don't have Xfire. Me included.

The people at the very very bottom of the ladder, who account for a very small minority, have significantly below 50%, just as the people at the very very top of the ladder have significantly above 50%. Yeah thats true but I think its also because people see theres a huge learning curve in starcraft and many people are unwilling to put in alot of time into that. | ||

There's almost always a rush when something new is released followed by a tapering off period, it doesn't necessarily mean that lots of people have given up on SC2 (or whatever) just that they've worked it in amongst their other games, most likely after powering through the campaign and placement matches. The normal cycle for products (I tried to draw a graph as an example but it sucked so apologies for the lack of visual aid here) is for a large pick-up to begin with followed by a significant fall, then another, smaller pick-up and stabalisation. Exception here are if the product tanks, or an extraodinary occurence (World of Warcraft is a good example here, didn't taper off just went up and up). Besides, SC2 is not a short term project, Blizz obviously intend for it to be around a long time so figures over such a short period are not a cause for concern, its the figures between now and the release of the first expansion that will be significant. | ||

Friend of mine just pointed out to me that SC2 online game statistics from xfire don't show very positive future for SC2. It's rapidly dropping which of course isn't good. ![[image loading]](http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3434/sc2fail.png) Is this just the casual players doing the sp, trying the mp and then moving on or is there something to be worried about? Or is there just something I'm missing about the stat graph. There are not much information on how the statistics are calculated so this maybe a bogus info but I thought I would post it if someone can clarify on it.

Seems to me that the spikes are at weekends? And the average has dropped down to 20k, while being 75k'ish 5 months ago. Damn. | ||

It's kind of like saying "Modern Warfare playtime is declining rapidly! Future doesn't look bright! Statistics from TeamLiquid.net." that made me lol edit: and i mean i actually ha ha ha'd that shit. | ||
