    Jam, last night at 11pm EST we had more people in WT channel than in PS2 channel.
    oh.... btw, it was just Phaedo and I. Right now is 8pm EST and we got 5 or 6 people in PS2 TS channel.
    Do you see where I'm going with this?

    That's just the way games work. People play them for a bit and take a break, then return to it. It has been seen in the BF3 Division, the PS2 Division, and the WT Division. Unless new content is brought out to keep the players interested, they will take a break from doing the exact same thing. Nobody wants to go from doing repetitive things at work day after day to doing repetitive things in a game where they go to sit back,relax, and have fun.

    I was hinting about the recruitment. How much of a new content are we gonna be getting until they finish optimizing the game?
    Yeah.... And that will take some time, mean while our numbers are shrinking.
    Who is our recruitment officer?

    The recruitment officer is me, not Jaam. And the recruitment numbers tie into my last comment perfectly, people have gotten bored in general and stopped playing. PS2 will take a hit by October 1st with Battlefield 4 Beta coming and they will flock to that.
    Have you watched the trends with recruitment in any division over a large time period? I can safely assume not, but it goes up and down much like the tides on a beach. Jaam knows it, officers know it, I know it, all of the senior staff know it. We aren't making a big deal of it because it is inevitable, the way online games work. There is only so much talent that isn't taken by the larger glory whore outfits with a bigger rep than us so we are fighting a very uphill battle for new members.

    Um guys this thread is about me !!!! Seriously WTF !!!!

    No but seriously I only wanted to let people know I was taking a break not to get this whole thing into a huge discussion about recruitment and what-not. I didn't want people thinking I was quitting the game, only that I needed a little break for a bit is all.
