I've been playing or otherwise popping in on DF and noticed that the game suddenly went from usually around 1.5k players to 3k. And it stayed like that for a while. I thought this was GREAT development and thought that JUST maybe this rise would incline the IP holders to allow the devs to keep working on the game. I thought the increase in players were people who played DW and transitioned since the repeatedly unaddressed allegations. Suddenly, now, I'm hardly seeing player count even get to 1,000. What's happened? I hate coming to terms with the very real reality of this game dying :[
