I'm surprised noone has mentioned a huge contributor to forum traffic.....Multi-player. In R2 it's a complete and total non-contributor. And, except for a brief spike with the release of Shogun II, the amount of posts generated has declined steadily since ME I:

Threads/Posts

Shogun I---138/3500
ME I---1868/31326
RTW I---610/13526
ME II---420/7108
ETW---160/1824
NTW---60/375
STW II---448/5723
RTW II---9/45

Nine topics and 45 posts in multi-player? Has multi-player support from CA sunk that low, or is the new breed of player just not interested?

Most players don't go to .Org forums, etc to post about multiplayer. Usually it's private clan forums, Steam, public mp forums (TWCC, Russian TW forum, etc) teamspeak, youtube etc.

For example there is a really old player, AggonyDuck (Shogun 1- Medieval 1 era) who use to browse these forums; not anymore. He's still active but not on here.

Almost no one would want to go these forums any more for mp discussion, the community has changed too. Mp support from CA has always been sh** but they patch once in a while. It's mostly the community which does the work. Irony is how the community now is larger than before though it is a little silent recently from R2 (especially around December 2013) but activity is improving.

I browse once in a while here but not much really keeps me here.
