The population seems to be less than compared to 3-4 months ago, however, there is still a population here, and there are lots of newcomers and newly-formed clans. I think rather than saying the population decreased, I believe the population has just dispersed itself differently. The server is no longer 2-sided with high-levels only. All of the hardcore no-lifers who wanted to rise to the top, have either taken a break, quit, or slowed down. There is a new dynamic, and if you've been here since the start, you would have to agree. The forum threads are no longer QQ threads. The GMs are still actively addressing in-game reports and client-side suggestions. And, as previously mentioned, this server has been up and running for 9 months now. I have to admit, there is tenacity in this server's administration and its community. This server has had a few periods or phases that could not be helped due to Classic update releases. It's also had distinct clan wars and politics, and a struggling market. I think its growing pains are over, and now it really has potential to attract newcomers, but also nourish its veterans.
