Well I have noticed a lot of changes. My rank has stabilised now from the sudden "dissapearance" of higher ranked player. Seems they did a clean out of who they could more than usual before Christmas time.
The good news is that Andromeda has still had a lot of fleeter action and is still known as one of the only universes that hasn't got a no 1 alliance set in concrete.
We can easily see that lately from the reports on the Ogame boards.
Some of the biggest and best players have recenlty lost their fleets and have NOT quit. as well as some of the older turteld players being downsized by their new account owners.
Even with the reduction in numbers, its still a universe that a new player can come and be productive.
Hopefully the Ataraxians and our allies can soon start throwing our hand into the ring with some nice hits and our improved fleet saving and defence capabilities should start showing their worth.

4107 April-1-2011 just thought i should post the numbers again as part of this monthly update. it appeared that my prediction from earlier was somewhat accurate. (quote modified slightly) seemed, players numbers had stablized somewhat; Andromeda player count is hovering around the 4000 mark. numbers had infact recovered some of the sudden losses recorded at the start of March. perhaps the decline of players is still happening throughout OGame and some players from dying servers just moved to more active servers like Andromeda. i've uploaded a time-line-graph of the player count in Universe101(Andromeda) i started playing OGame in late August, so there's data from early September onwards player count for April and May last year are sourced from Markas Aquinas' post above the trend of decline is slowing dradually, which is what we want to see.

I was wondering why I jumped up 7 ranks suddenly. Interesting that some of the ejected players were in the top 400.

Oheythere, with the exodus my rank is higher than when I went off for a week.
Seems numbers are hovering around 4,000.
If they're getting rid of permabanned players, it's about time.

player count stands at 4043,.. agreed that the numbers are marginally above 4000 perhaps this is the equilibrium we've been looking for?

Just don't ask a Jedi if this is the equilibrium that we're looking for. Chances are you'll get lied to, and then he/she will move along to go about their business before you know it. lol

I've been slowing getting my rank up, now I'm. 1701 (hehe Star Trek). The thing is I'm not attacking many players as there are few good targets now since the update, so I wonder if it's more down to people leaving?

numbers are clearly on the drop and i wonder why they are opening new universes. the population jump from Oct-11 to Nov-11 was partly due to the implemented buddy point system where people got their friends to play OGame, many of them probably did not like the game very much and quit within a couple of months. OGame 3.0 patch with the absurd protection and honour junk were implemented in early December last year and may have contributed to the significant drop of player numbers since then. another reason for the rise and the drop may be that for a brief period of time, Andromeda was the default server in the selection menu where new players register. that was changed with miniture descriptions where it tells people that Andromeda is "old server with established players and is not recommended for new players". all of which are stupid.
