I think it becomes more and more in the next time, the project of maniaplanet is still in development. It will grow with Shootmania soon and later also with Valley and Questmania and therefore also mx will evolve. The more content maniaplanet gains the bigger the community gets... I hope at least.
Of course it's a different situation, when you start with 7 environments at once than starting with one environment and adding additional content about time. Anyway I think maniaplanet is a great and ambitious project, because the upcoming expansions keep motivating, you don't get bored so fast of the game, because there's always new stuff to explore. Further, imagine how much time would still be left until the release of trackmania 2, when nadeo made for example 3 envis and release it then as a complete game.
The reason why there aren't so many users right now is the episode-strategy of nadeo I guess, but anyway it's the best they can do and it's also exciting to see the project maniaplanet evolve and grow about time.
