| Metric | Apr 26, before Double XP | May 17 | May 24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday average players | 17,348 | 17,733 | 17,360-373 vs May 17 |
| Sunday peak players | 23,355 | 23,739 | 22,744-995 vs May 17 |
| Weekly hiscores, around 7 PM Central | 101,331 | 109,490 | 102,058-7,432 vs May 17 |
May 24 was below May 17 on both Sunday average players (17,360 vs. 17,733) and Sunday peak players (22,744 vs. 23,739).
May 24 also showed basically the same average as Sunday, April 26, before Double XP (17,360 vs. 17,348). The peak was worse than April 26 too (22,744 vs. 23,355).
This is also not the only metric showing a downward trend. May 24 hiscores were 102,058, down from the prior Sunday (109,490) and close to the Sunday before Double XP (101,331).
This indicates most of the player retention from Double XP has been lost.
Looking at Sunday versus the prior Sunday is useful because it shows counts are still going lower. Accounting for that and the return to pre-Double XP levels, I would not be surprised if the rest of May pulls the monthly average counts below April's (17,377) from where May currently sits (~17.45k).
