So lets take a quick look at the steam charts numbers for Neverwinter over the last year. (full numbers here) This takes us back to the last time there was an appreciable gain in player numbers over the previous month, and that was also a positive gain.

Pretty much all details of mod 17 are out now. People who had some hope of changes in direction are now in despair. Exodus continues. |

Ravenloft releases and is largely enjoyed. Begins to reverse large losses from boredom with small Omu content release. |
*August numbers aren't quite done yet so I haven't included them. They are slightly up, but so far that gain, even with a NEW mod only makes up for about 1/3 of the June/July losses.
