Actually it looks rather consistent as far as number of countries since Jan of 2010. There are ups and downs but the baseline is still there. Not a major decline in that graph.
The best part about stats are if you take the stats that make your own point, someone else can take the same stats and make theirs. Watch me do the same thing:
My point is simple, there are fewer players "today" than there were on this day in 2012. And I expect that trend to continue, and in fact accelerate if some alliances just decide to call it quits and disband, there will be a few guys who re-locate but others will just bail altogether. Going back to 2010 is all well and good, but it isn't 2010 anymore. Past performance does not indicate future results, etc. What is alarming is the acceleration of the player numbers decay in the past year.
I look at it as being akin to wanting to be the champion of a manure pile. Sure you're the champion, but you're still standing in s**t.
