As far as the leaderboard goes:
... keep believing they took the leaderboard down for bandwith issues. I'm sure everyone buys into that theory, especially considering it was up for a year AT THE HEIGHT OF QL'S POPULARITY...
lol, no....they took it down so we couldn't see the truth about the # of people playing. They only brought it back briefly in august 2010 because the numbers were up (due to quakecon and news of an epic update, duh). You won't see ever see the leaderboards back in ql
As far as the actual population
..some like vedic would have you believe only 3000 people are left playing this game, others like cityy would have you believe there'80,000 duelers alone (based on qlranks.com). HAHAH, BUT NO... the real truth is that it's closer to the actual numbers shown below in my link.
Furthermore, you can learn more from sponge/syncerror's silence on the issue, not having answered people's questions about it like they did in march 2010. There's a reason for that. If your'e smart you'll know. Keep in mind, sponge already admitted that there were only 84,000 people playing in december 2009. So you already know qlranks.com is wrong by miles. It also shows you how many alt accounts are made daily and how badly people abuse it. If someone did the calculations on it, by doing the following:
1. find out what % of the ql population plays duel
2. find out how many new accounts there are month to month on qlranks.com
3. find the # of new accounts based on those 2 figures.
then we'd know how many new accounts are made each month

And here's what happened from march 2011 (a little after where the compete.com graph last stopped above), till now: siteanalytics.compete.com/quakelive.com/Got down to 13,788 Notice also you can no longer toggle the history of the site? That's because, quote, "Rough Estimate: The sample size for this site is small, for more info refer to our Data Methodology." I HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANT PARTanybody who buys a premium account right now is a total fool. QLRANKS.COM WAS MADE BY ID DEVELOPERS IDIOTS... THAT'S FACT. They just work on other projects within id. The numbers on qlranks.com are totally inflated..... yet again, another attempt by id to lie about the the direction this game is really taken. |

 pretty much the end of the road for ql. Figures don't include the recent drop in june either. Should be below 10k by end of summer. |
