Good to see you Koc :-) Maybe we meet again in STW2 or some Blizz game.

My impression is that the amount of people actually trying multi player has increased - simply based on the fact that the last few games have been among the best-selling of the series. Shogun was a huge critical success and a very good seller relative to CA's history until then... but far, far from being a gaming blockbuster. The problem is that multiplayer just was never supported and promoted enough to ever take off ...
