And with the July numbers now out, I'm even more intrigued by how well the "black line" seems to be tracking things.

I'm currently too lazy to break out MSPaint and redrawing it to the relevant reference points and hosting it....

But from an "eyeball" type guesstimate, I'd say the black line is likely to suggest a very small amount of growth in the US playerbase next month... But I do mean a very small amount, to the point of it almost not growing at all.

What the hell is going on with the Weekly Faction Activity graph? The intensity of the increase in activity makes me question the validity of the data. A change in the sampling trends/too few samples perhaps? If the data is accurate, what do you guys think is the best way to interpret this... can it really all be attributed to a post-content patch spike? or is something else afoot? I'd love to hear some ideas.

Zul'Aman, new Badge of Honor gear (for PVP in particular) which is causing mass heroic/Kara farming to go on. So generally, more reason for people to log on and stay online for more than 10 Arena matches/week, and doing their daily quests.
