Genesis Community,
I have some very nice data to share. The first is a comparison of two dates
a year apart from one another. This shows what happened on January 14th in
both 2012 and then now in 2013.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comparisons between two time periods:
Jan 14 2012 = O
Jan 14 2013 = @

Quite heartening! I also like the look of this trend:

As you can see, player activity is on the rise and continues to grow. We
are currently enjoying a steady playerbase that seems to be growing with
the return of some old faces and the appearance of some that are truly
new (not just wearing a wig.)
To those of you who have been sharing your favorite game with your friends,
good work! To those of you who happened to find us on your own, welcome
and happy New Year!
Warm regards,
G.
