well.. its not too hard to jump in rank fast with a new server if you get the traffic right from the beginning...
because there isnt many numbers to average together to get the avg player count (those ranks are based on avg player count i believe)
...where with the old server it was harder to move up in rank (think the best we hit was around 80 global, and like 7 or 8 in the US) because the server was up for over 3 years and there was a TON of daily player count numbers to figure into the average, so individual days didnt have much impact..
basically.. if you get 5 days of high traffic.. that will boost the average better if theres only a total of 10 days to factor into it, compared to like 1000+ days
