That depends on what you count as the rebound.
The rebound from Incarna happened with the mere news that crucible would be a feature-fix expansion, and it's largely been upwards-trending ever since. This last (massive) bump happened with Retribution, though, and while the stats might not look like it, it's been growing fairly consistently since. Christmas and New Year's have always been low-pop days GÇö apparently spending time with family and friends trumps EVE GÇö so they regularly drive down numbers to much lower than the standard pops at this time of year. This year, though, they've been very high even for being the holidays.
For comparison, look at the 2011 graph, starting just before Incarna, and the the 2012 graph. That dip-and-bump in 2011-10 was the week the Goon ice interdiciton started, only to be completely outdone by the first devblog about the changes in Crucible. As usual, we see the spring decline in 2012, followed by the normal summer riseGǪ and then a ridiculously large increase as Retribution hits.

Funnily enough, the last time we got a content expansion, it set off a pretty significant decline, only to be followed by a failed content-patch that caused that downwards slope to turn into a vertical drop.

Just being able to avoid the O(n-¦) calculations to begin with is quite a feat, and being able to do it for all the potential and possible collisions that might happen between 2000 ships (and other debris on the field) in a 1s frame and still get reasonable and reliable results is rather astounding.

So you see this as an uptrend? A 7% increase from the previous year, and a 2% increase before that is indeed an upwards trend. Considering the disastrous events that have happened inbetween, that's not bad at all. This is further shown in the PCU trends.
Quote:Look SIMPLE FACT is its either declined or stayed the same sinxe 2009 ...except for the upward trends shown above and definitely the one starting with Cataclysm.
