I was on vacation last week (finally) but I'm back now, and thanks for the support guys. What I am finding is that, no matter how hard we work to make CP active and keep new events going (like the Olympics) and additions in the works (like a town on Ghoul Island) that our overall participation from long term members seems to be declining mostly due to overall game content - no new major features. People get excited over new additions like weather, new ships, magic changes, new items, complex events (like the cool Christmas one). These kind of things, or anything else that changes the dynamics of how people play will generate weeks of exploration fun and forums trash talk about the goodness or badness of the changes. Additions like this really keep people upgrading their accounts. Give them a challenge and they will come to participate.
