When exactly?

So all 80-100 ppl in NFI now left game? Interesting

^^ Is certainly not true.
The easiest way to explain it is, when you drop the tag limit.. you stop players from playing in the alliance they want to play in (or have been playing in).

I admit the model is very simple, about not being true we have to discuss some more. I think your argumentation is not valid for following reasons:
How does a player decide for which ally to play? The three most popular reasons are.
- He knows people in the alliance - a lower tag limit might limit those choices - if the community core of alliances approaches the tag limit
- He assumes that he can play a good round in this alliance - his options increase with more competitive alliances
- He is a new player and scrolling through recruitment forum - just inserted for joke, such things don't happen anymore in PA

How many alliances are still around from R1? If your theory is true noone would be left playing.
The current remaining folks play PA because they like it or have masochistic tendencies. If some of their friends move to another place they follow. Also there are many players who just go wherever they will get a good planet.
