Can someone care to explain the meaning of these numbers? Are they wrong? Serenity has been losing a third of its subscribers every month from what I can tell, to the point where it looks like Tranquility on June 2003. Granted, most of China plays on one timezone but the peak online numbers should be a lot higher than 8k.
If Serenity is failing, I think its time we heard something about it.

I can come up with theories on my own. The carrot on a stick one Enslaver mentions might be part of it. But it would take a lot longer than 2-3 months before everyone became bored of it.
I simply want the truth, because as it stands.. the EVE fanbase tolerates the fact that we're no longer a "unique" universe out of the pretense that its beneficial to EVE in the long run. Not only have we sacrificed this uniqueness, but its implementation has cost us in other forms as well: development delays, resource reallocation.
So what the hell, if this ends up being a time/money sink for CCP I think I will start to care.

But Serenity isn't Castor. Its better in every single way.
They have a better server, a larger market, more advertising, better support, and generally a better game with more content. It started big and then declined, there must be some reason for that?
By comparison, Tranquility started small and barely stayed afloat thanks in large part to rabid fanboys of the community, and steadily climbed in subscriber count as the major gamebreaking stuff was sorted out.
My personal theory is that the game has no appeal in its current state, after its been robbed of all player created history and content. But I'm definitely hoping its a technical issue, those can be fixed a lot faster. Cause if EVE fails in China, they'll probably send TomB to prison as punishment. And despite his ecm/missiles debacle, I still wish him well :\
