Now that the dust has settled, how has Retold been so far?

there was a lot of hype when it came out months ago and I never saw the AOM section on streaming sites being so buzzing with activity. A lot of streamers seemed to have high hopes for it and had plans for guides, coaching , etc

I was unable to play for months or pay attention to how it's been evolving. To my surprise things seem to have gone backwards a lot to say the least. I initially assumed there would be around 10k active playerbase but it seems a lot less than that now. twitch audience seems mostly gone as well.

I checked EE online a few times recently and to my surprise saw quite a few familiar names in lobby who I thought would make the switch to retold permanently. If there's any EE/voobly hold outs i'm curious to know why they're passing on retold.

There's a new DLC which I'm excited for and i'm hoping it will get people coming back, but how did things get to this state?
