So I wonder

PW is slowly declining in population e'ry day. If we create an equation of lose to gain ratio of player base I wonder how long it would take before we have no more remaining base. Formula would of course include factors of new releases which would hurt the player base more.

y = y1 -[(a-b)x] - c

y = player base remaing

y1 = current player base

a = players leaving
b = players joining
x = days/weeks
c = inpact of loss of players from new releases.

The countdown begins?

Though I'm too lazy to include a formula for half-life (as fewer people remain more will leave.)

    Let me help you

    y = y1 -[(a-b)x] - c

    y = player base remaing

    y1 = about 50.000

    a = about 152/day
    b = 1/week
    x = days/weeks WTH
    c = inpact of loss of players from new releases. o.o


    I suck at math o.o

    So with your theory. Let's say 20,00 leave for the new releases. We want y to = 0

    y = 50,000 - (1064-1)x - 20,000

    y = 30,000 - 1063x

    In less then 29 weeks There will be no more players. That's also not factoring in half life.
