Here's what I see happening. The first ladder season will be huge, everyone and their dad will start playing 'on the ladder'. The real test will be the second and subsequent seasons, if and when they occur. But only those who really, really want the perks of ladder play and those that actually are interested in the ladder itself will continue with subsequent seasons. So I predict the second season will be much smaller.
In part this calculus depends on the degree to which the economy has collapsed in the first season. If the second season is started because of a thermonuclear-item duping explosion, rather than because the ladder has long-since filled with 99's, this may all change.
