Hello Genesisians,
I thought I'd post another update about the stability of the playerbase,
which I enjoy doing because it is excellent news!
As you can see from the graph below, which shows the entire last year's
worth of data on player activity, we have established a steady trend of
improvement from June of 2012 onwards. What is more, the trend shows
stability of player numbers over 15 APH for the entire month of January
thus far.

I thought it would be helpful, also, to see how the data from January of
last year compare with the January we are finishing up here in 2013. The
chart below shows an extremely comprehensive breakdown of player activity
by both hour and day of the week.

So, there you have it! We have increased player activity nearly 75% from this
same month last year, with some hours of the day having more than doubled
their levels of activity (look at 14:00!)
Keep up your great work of sharing the game with your friends, both those
who are new to Genesis and those who you remember enjoying time with here
in the past, and who need encouragement now to return.
Onward and upward!
G.
