Haha, I'm trying to run from the other game.
Though, browsing forums a little, kinda interesting to see the same things about player base size, recruitment, etc.
However, this one is much bigger. I've ran several alliances in the other (different game mechanics - planet building vs nation building, so alliances aren't as rock steady), and the alliances here are much more numerous. I started the other in 06, and since then it's gone from around 12-1500 active players to probably only a few hundred now.
