kingly Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 We're probably going to drop below 4000 nations within the next 2 weeks, the count is currently at 4011 active nations. Its also that time again where every 2 years I look at the trend data and try to predict CNs future and end date. Lets start with my previous predictions: Quote Posted October 23, 2015 So what am I predicting now? We will fall below 5000 by mid 2017, I'd say the earliest the game could end is Dec 2017, and I'm placing a max shelf life of Jan 2021, at which point we will almost certainly be below 2000, likely even 1000. We did indeed fall below 5000 players in that time range, but we trended worse than expected, which does not bode well for the game. Let's take a look at the player count over time, the dataset I have is somewhat in complete, but it paints the picture we need. The current nation count is the lowest I have on record, lower than even my data points in 2006. What does this mean for CN? Lets look at the tail end, the last 6 or so years, and try to project when cn will end. The colored ranges represent the zone of possibility for cn if trends continue. Absolute worst case cn could be finished as early as early as the end of 2018, best case 2024, where ending is dropping below 1000 nations. My guess is we will hit 1000 sometime between Aug of 2020 and Jan of 2021, assuming the game is allowed to run this long. If 1000 is the cutoff, the game will probably not last more than a few months past 2021. If however 2000 nations is the cutoff, we could see the end by late 2019.

Devialance Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Well in truth how many of those 40k nations was mutis ?. Even now i bet most of the what 580 nations that has signed up from 10th Dec to now are fake accounts or muti's bet none of them are new players at all. Even the Admin has given up on cybernation i do not for see it lasting another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejack Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 the game will be closed way sooner than that because some of the biggest donation contributors have stopped ummm...contributing. no money no game.

Um, you do realize that's a different statistic? The 4004 stat for CN refers to all nations currently in existence(e.g. haven't deleted or gone into inactivity mode) not active(logged in) in the last week. There are tons of nations in CN not logged into within a week or more. Don't really see how it's relevant anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some long-term players who understand the base mechanics and have programming chops could do a great job, if they were willing to give up their nations and loyalties.

Lucius Optimus Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 That's why all the tech sellers should know their rights and never sell tech at a rate less than 9mil/100t to these huge nations. All nations that sell need to practice this. It has to be a grassroots movement. At least then they have a shot of being a mid tier nation within a year.
