There are 123 former staff members on a server averaging 500 players a day Slow down the hiring process boys
The 123 former staff members are cumulative of the servers entire existence. The size of the former staff list is not indicative in any way of rate in which staff members are promoted.
It wasn't always 500 players on daily. T'was back in my days we had like 1000 ~ 2000 players on. Those were the days.
Not even joking but the server hasn't actually went too far downhill. The other servers I was mainly active on either shut down or are pretty much on the verge of being dead. Also, more staff were needed before when there were a lot more active players. In fact, I personally think it was a good amount of staff members at the time.
I don't get why you were attempting to make a snarky remark without thinking of all the faulty logic you had as explained by all the people above.
Take all the resigned + current staff members, and it doesn't even account for 0.01% of the total unique players ever logged in
You might want to look up the definition of "former". I figured it's was a crazy number plus the OP doesn't understand population trends.
I'm just implying that I've been here for a long time and I've seen the player base shift a lot through out the years.
