FH2 isnt doing bad imho. Just last night we had roughly 140 players during the evening which is quite damn good considering it was a monday evening, which usually means the activity is rather slow and low.
But I am sure we will see at least a periodic boost with the player numbers, whether the boost is permanent, I do not know. Of course, I hope 2.2 will boost player count high enough so a lot of those newcomers will become active casuals.
