About 5 days ago, I looked at the application stat numbers for Empires & Allies. It was only 9 days after the game launched, but the numbers weren't very high.
I checked again today on AppData and was really surprised by the growth.
It was slow going at first but there was a tremendous growth spurt.
Empires & Allies is now #7 on the Application Leaderboard while Mafia Wars drops to the #3 position.
Hopefully all the changes Zynga is making to Mafia Wars will attract new players before it drives all of the existing ones away. Even if things are made better, people don't like change. My father has a nice cell phone but refuses to use it. Is it better than his home phone? Sure is. Would it have prevented him from getting lost in the Casino last time he visited? Would have saved us hours. Does he use it now? Nope, it just sits there collecting dust. Mafia Wars is kind of like that. Only those who accept and adapt to change will stick with it.

ReplyDeleteI play both MW and E&A at this point. E&A is a nice retreat from the pop ups and redundant mini games in MW.
