>Apparently there was a bug
Anon, please. You'd have to be "I believe in storks and Santa Claus" level of gullible to think this very clearly slowly progressing line was bug.
It's absolutely common knowledge these have to be faked otherwise they run the risk of tanking the morale in the community.
That's why they were invented. Blizzard doesn't show playercounts on anything because they use them to manipulate their stock price. So when people started saying X game is dead, they made the OG event like this to both heighten engagement and dispell all the naysayers.
And it worked... it worked too well. So they repeated it a while later, all confident about the result and... they didn't reach the goal. GG no RE.
Everyone has learned since then these either have to be brutally simple goals with no way of failing or a fudged count.
