What happened to the reports that Party would lose roughly 80% of their player base when the U.S. got blocked? It seems to me that rumors of Party's imminent demise were greatly exaggerated. No doubt, Party's taken a huge hit and they'll never be #1 again unless they re-enter the U.S. market, but they've been sitting comfortably in 2nd place for the past 2 days and their peak numbers are still roughly half of what they were pre-ban.

They've gone from a peak of 16K earlier in the year to 6.5K now, which is a 60% loss. While that is distorted somewhat no doubt by the figures varying during the year for all sites with the seasons, nonetheless they seem to have lost around 1/2 their player base at least, even though that still leaves them in 2nd place.
