Greetings P.  I haven't played for about 8 months or so.  I still have 3 active accounts (miner/production&research/combat). 

I enjoyed my time in game for the most part but as I recall I left because the population was falling rapidly, P's devs seemed to be fumbling their one chance at a real population with the influx of outraged Eve monocle haters, and the addition of features seemed to focus exclusively on the biggest corporations needs instead of new/solo/small corp players.

This whole time while not playing I have still kept a dual client install and occasionally gone back to check the population graphs only to be disappointed and return to whatever game I was playing at the time (MMO or otherwise).  The last time I went to check the graphs had been removed.

So, what's up with Perpetuum these days?  Amazing new things to do?  I see there are player built structures now and outposts can be not only owned but restrict access, how's that working out?  I see some dire looking economy/pop threads just giving General a cursory look, true story or hyperbole?
