I agree, though it is a good step to take along with what other ideas we can brainstorm here.
Our analytics are showing an increase by the day. Moonsense yesterday said there were 140 unique players, and today the number is 151.
To the subject of getting our players to stick around; the stats system in development would do well for that in keeping players engaged and aiming for the number #1 spot. Even then, stats alone could not possibly maintain interest forever.
The question here for everyone would be: What do you believe is needed to not only bring in new players and community members, but to have them also want to stick around?
