It's literally ALWAYS the most popular game with most players. Why? What brings so many people to this game? I played it and I don't get it.
Because its awesome?..
as a player you have a ton of freedom and options and 100% of the game is cooperating or competing with other people. since it's completely player driven no two rounds are ever the same. it's nothing but a bunch of people pretending to be spacemen, and some of those spacemen are trying to kill you and you don't know which ones.

with the public codebases and different branches there's a wide range of experiences, anywhere from a few friends trying to run a deserted space station to crowded insane deathtraps where just staying alive until the escape shuttle comes is a challenge. there's places that take roleplay seriously and there's places that don't care and everything in between.

also it's actively developed every day by a bunch of different people going in different directions so there's always new things to try.

Beautiful, just beautiful.
This game is trully what roleplay players want,its uncomprehensibly complex for first time,but once you learn things,its gorgeous,you need to roleplay,learn things and keep station alive,its like Spacestation simulator,its hard,but one of the best roleplay games made EVER..
Let's just say this, once the space station remake(s) come out, BYOND will have to think of new ideas.
What everyone said.

Also, role-play, immersion, choice and consequence, sandbox and SPACE.
