I don't think the game is very successful asI think only around 30 thousand people have played it so far with most of them giving it a go for a day or two.
I'd be surprised if the active users were more than 5000 at the moment. Factor in that people like me have never spent a penny and still managed to be around the top 500 most of the time (i've fallen quite a bit lately- uni took over). I don't think they're making enough money to afford better servers. The entire team probably consists of a few people.
Anyway. Managed to beat the game yesterday and I'm stoked about it. I don't think I've ever played another game for as many hours as I've played this one (437 and counting). Sometimes I feel like spending some money on it just as a thank you to the developers.
