I can understand staff being around less with less players, but at the same time they have to be there for these players. When a staff hosts for even 5-6 people these people message their friends saying 'come play, there's an event in 5 minutes'. Trust me, I got messages all the time from Luda and Smoke saying there's an event and when I see an event I tell them and a few other people that I have on my msn list to come online. Sometimes all it takes to get a few extra people on is to host an event. You join a quick 1v1 rep, or something else, and then you think 'well I'm on anyways so maybe I'll mine or hunt for a bit'. You can't honestly tell me that hosting an event makes people log off. Even if it's an event the player hates, they'll continue doing what they were doing, and maybe even ask the staff to do another event after, something they like.
