Well like I said before on this thread with the Steam release. It gave a false sense of community. Basically people came to see what the game was about and try it, because they avid Steam often and saw it on the free to play recently added lists. Then they didn't like t because it's too hard a game, so for a time many people came up and then left real fast. So the question is were there more people before the steam release than after they left? The answer is there were more people around before the steam release, than a few months after the steam release. Before there was generally 200-300 people online, at least on forums and at least 150-200 and plus online in game before. Then now after those numbers probably go down about 50. Even before that when I started playing in 2013, there were up to 300 online on game and 400 online on forums. I would still say the community is alive for now, it's just slower than it used to be. I try to publicize the game by telling my friends about it, and if you really want to keep the game around you should do so too. ^_^
P.S. sorry for any typos, I'm on a phone in gym class. Lel.
