One stock can double in value on the same day the entire market loses 500 points. Doesn't make it a good day on Wall Street!

Yup, not everyone is doing well. The truly active ones that has lots of active ppl IMO (according to DxD leaderboards for enemies killed and my friends who are in these guilds) are Ronin-Vengence & Treasure Lordzz, look at when they were established (pretty recent compared to most others on the boards) & then look at where they stand on the Overall Board not to mention the Daily board too. They've passed many older guilds on the board that were established far longer than they been around for.

Angel,
ESG is truely one of the special cases. But, you admitted in your post, that they had to delete about 200 inactive members, and some were game founders. Just last night, another guild announced that they are folding, and they were once a very large, well known and respected guild. But, Even with a membership of near 500 members, how many are TRUELY active? Play daily, or at least 4 times a week? How many are ingame at any single moment? And has this gotten to be less and less over the past couple of months? Having 500 names in the guild list is one thing, but if only 60 of them play on a regular basis, when 160 had played before, that is what this is all about.

We're farrrr from 500, we deleted pretty much everyone who hadn't logged in for ages...we're down to about 340ish now...at night I think we have 15 ppl online or so at any given time. Just checked DxD and it says that yesterday we had 59 members killed stuff & 49 members sunk ships. Mmm I have an idea of which guild you might be talking about but not sure... a few days ago, a founder (on her new pirate that is guildless) from a certain guild asked me how ESG is doing & how many ppl were online at that moment. Her guild is older than ESG (fyi: only 5 guilds are older than ESG), most members in her guild are founders (I'd say about 75%, whereas ESG is more like 50%) and yes they are also well-known, also used to be in the Top 3 guilds with ESG/Pirate Guild 6 on the leaderboards, but her guild is not anymore. She was surprised at how many ppl were online in ESG and she said that the only time they can get that many ppl online is when a member masters. Her guild hasn't made the Daily leaderboards in a while...ESG is active enough to still make the daily leaderboards to maintain our spot though, not to mention that we also don't have members "rank" for guild stats... (lolol just had to say that coz some ppl think "ranking" gives a false interpretation of how active a guild truly is when they see how many enemies were killed or ships were sunk)
