Heres my idea on the situation. One reason that iclassic has a higher player count is that a lot of the players initially didn't jump onto the iEra bandwagon but now that they see it's not that bad they want to play. The only problem is they would have to start over again, building their stats and reputation up even if they were a "pro" on iclassic. Due to the fact that they would be a noob again, many players stuck to iclassic and just try to downplay everything that iEra accomplishes. I don't necessarily hate iclassic, I just prefer iEra.
