Getting rid of the speed games for non premium members was a bad decision and def. will make CC decline and peeps will go to the other Risk sites that are quickly gaining popularity and do offer free speed games. Victors United for example is amazing! Check it out, game play is much better and not so confusing for new players. A certain amount of speed games you could play a month sounded fair to me for non premium members. I don't play that many speed games but once and a while I like to sit down and enjoy one. Today was one of those days I wanted to use one of my speed games for the month and it took 15 mins to figure out why I couldn't! That was the straw that broke the camels back guys! Peace, I'm out!

I agree with you that they should restore the limited free speed games. That, however, is where our agreement stops.

I had never heard of Victors United before your post, so I went to check it out. It also requires paid membership in order to play speed (ie. "lightning") games, but the paid membership there is $40, not $25 like ours. There are 424 players on the scoreboard instead of 12K. After 3 years it's still in Beta release. Game options like Fog of War require a paid membership, whereas here on CC free members can use any game option except speed. Looking through the forum, a quick glance shows numerous complaints about various bugs, server outages, and incorrect charges to people's PayPal account.

Enjoy your amazing alternative...

It's 12,944 now. Will we see 13,000 again?

i'm relatively new here but i really like this site. i'm a long time risk player, though i haven't played in quite a while, and there are no other sites that come close to this one. if this site is in decline i'll bet the competitors are really flagging.

I signed up just last week and I love the site. I've referred any of my friends who I've played Risk with in the past. I bought premium because 4 games wasn't enough for me.

I also on occasion post on a Civilization message board. Been there since 2001 and every-single-year since then, that site has had a thread like this. As long as you have a vibrant community, as you seem to have here, you'll do fine.

Otherwise I agree with Apple. Do something to bring in new players, because some players invariably leave. But I don't think the site is struggling if you have 12-13k players really.

Thanks Armandolas.

If I have anything else to say, it's that this site needs better promoting if you want more players. I've been a big Risk fan since childhood, and I would have very gladly signed up for a site like this yeaaars ago if I had ever heard of it. What brought me here was watching RealityGameMasters. I moved to the Philippines not long ago and its impossible to get a game going here, so I thought "There has to be a way online!"

I ran into a blog post, and it brought me here. If whoever's promoting this site could find a way to reach more people, I'm sure it'll bring in more people as well.

I think this is very true. I looked for this kind of site for awhile, and the google just didn't ever give me this site. I looked for a few days every now and then just wanting to play, and one of my friends just happened to already be playing here. It needs to be easier to find.

Wow, back up to 13,062.

Please change the thread title to "Is CC Ascending?"

Could this be a reason for the spike? CC still offers a huge amount of fun for a small fee. Hell you can barely buy a few gallons of gas now with $25.00

nahh, this its only summer increase, when summer off ,then decline will continue.

Summer has always been the slowest time for CC in general. Winter time is when CC spikes up.

13066 going up still

Hopefully this trend continues, for 2 reasons.

1. It's great for the site and my enjoyment of said site.
2. Gillipig will finally have no reason to visit and can just go away.
