the small community that still plays

70k+ people playing daily

You and I have very different concepts of small.

Surely that 70k would include the bots though? Like of it's 69,500 bots and 500 people then it seems fair to call it a small community

Na there is a lot of real players still playing.

Aus for example community servers get full quick, there is a pro league going with multiple divisions, and then those who try brave casual servers as well.

Aus alone would have over 500+ players regularly playing daily.

Check this video, bots count as players in the stats, the real player numbers are like 15k/10k.

Not bad for a 20 years old game.
