people fail to see the bigger picture
1. Rarely do you see any new people playing old school clients.
2. The players who play these 7.7's and lower clients are the same people who once played the CIP one.
3. the people who played CIP 7.72, they are not kids anymore as they once were when they played the CIP 7.7
4. these same people, are now grown up/getting older and have responsibilities, jobs/school and dont have time to play low rate servers, especially ones which are just put up "bcz some guy stole my files and i wanna du pai bak"
5. these numbers will continue drooping as time goes by, unless cip does something with old school clients which they have been talking about doing for years now.
