I read on Eric's Twitter that he changed the Servers and I can see the difference.
There are a lot of Players compared to how few there were a short and long while ago (although the coming of Spring may have had to do with this as well). In the end, I'm just glad that this Game has a moment of Glory at the moment, since it had to endure such a long time of indifference.
I may be naïve, but this is why I made this Topic after all. What do you have to say about this change?
