Imm times, timezones, permas, etc. <br> <br>Some people are more likely to play one class (Russians play Empire, Aussies play Herald probably..). <br> <br>Sometimes an IMM, especially if it is a cabal Imm, will have many players who play at the same time as them. What's more convenient and fun than an Imm that plays when you play? <br> <br>Maybe they're permas.. <br> <br>Or maybe they just notice when the cabal is weak/strong, and try to log on in the strong times, accentuating the effect. <br> <br>I think it's a huge mix of a lot of things, and would likely make a good sociology thesis, if only people could understand the dynamics.
