Server Changes Change Nothing

As we mentioned in a post earlier this week, Sega of America decided that they would drop a number of universes (on both the PC/PS2 and XBox 360 servers) in this week's maintenance. This downsizing left the PC/PS2 players with 10 universes and the XBox 360 players with 20.

I imagine that this change was implemented to make the server populations appear higher by forcing players to play on fewer universes. While this strategy is probably a good idea from a marketing perspective, it doesn't seem to be working:

New Server Population

In related news, Sega's efforts to put out new content every two weeks have officially failed. Two weeks after the last content update (if you can call it that), only the universe modifications were delivered today.

Not even the Halloween lobbies were added, meaning that the earliest they could arrive is... Halloween? What the hell?
