I have been watching this thread and a couple others like it. Statistics are great, but only when you look at them in context.
Let's take today for example:
Since NWN2 came out I have been tracking the server populations through Gamespy. If you use the public page you are able to see a snapshot in time - the number of players and server at that very moment.
So, today I checked it out at my normal time - about 1:30 PM Pacific time. It says there are ~850 players online playing NWN2. That doesn't sound like much, does it?
Now, if I go back and check last February 18, I can see that at the same time of day there were about 525 players online.
This means the number of players (for this day) have grown. If you look through the history, you will see that is the trend.
Over the course of the year, NWN2 has grown by about 60%. So, contrary to what many would have you believe, NWN2 MP has been growing in population, not shrinking.
