EPTMuting has been around for more than a month.
The system has been improved.
A lot of people in the age-range that play dota are currently busy with exams (Me included and most of the people i know).
Sorry, not seeing it.

Garry's mod and TF2 aren't growing games. They have a pretty steady and consistent community. If we look at the last big peak for Dota it was during the qualifiers. So what can happen is a lot of new people join, and you don't retain all of them. So it will look like it's declining in comparison to that peak, but you've still had a gain compared to before that peak. To think the mute system has anything to do with it is ridiculous. If you remove the peaks and just draw a line averaging each quarter, it's still growing. | ||

A plausible explanation could just be that people are playing on the perfect world servers instead of the valve servers. | ||

We'll see an absolutely massive spike, i think someone at valve predicted a spike of 3x their current playerbase. Does that mean dota2 will triple in size? No, we'll most likely not retain 100% of the people. And valve's tutorial is incredibly important to the success of the release. Dead game has been a joke at /v/ and /vg/ since forever though. | ||

I haven't complained about the mute system at all until now and I've had little reason to, since I play a lot and never got muted, even though I don't sugarcoat words at all but I really can see how it could be detrimental. I'm sure valve will improve it with time, though | ||

Does the PW client put people in that same system? Just because it's a mini-steam doesn't mean that it logs users into the same system it just means it has a lot of the features. And the authentication can all run from perfect worlds side. We really can't know. And either way, these graphs are about concurrent users. Chinese user-base going up will only mean that we will see increases during certain time-zones. It doesn't necessarily mean it will peak higher. And just because it doesn't peak higher, doesn't mean the user base is decreasing if the number is on average higher. | ||

Stuff like the ice-tiny one doesn't deviate too much for example. I don't know, we'll have to see, it could be cool though but i don't think it'll be added. | ||
