The first spike you see in June 2010 is the big Poland spike, when lots of Polish people found the game (mostly through Polish site joemonster.org).  The big increase in traffic in October 2011 was due to the release of the <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.warlight.net\/index.php\/Standalone_Client\">stand-alone client<\/a> that was distributed to Flash gaming sites such as Kongregate and Armor Games.
