I watched the video, a level increase, 6 months into a game, wow. That's how bad the content is. It's bad form too, because instead of building on the content that you have at the end game, you are totally trivializing it.
They have EC HM that is prohibitively difficult, so I don't think it's that. I think the lack of any really challenging end game is what caused the first major drop in numbers (right between 1.1 and 1.2). At this point, the game's biggest challenge is the lack of population (in my opinion obviously, who knows what's really causing the game to die). That has a snowball effect and I think we're at the cusp of the snowball reaching it's maximum size. Again, D3 didn't help matters at all.
