I've started up a Hazordhu Server, hoping to see the kingdoms grow again.

It's been a while, now, probably a week or so, and barely ANYONE seems to show up, anymore! I remember when the game was so populated, hundreds of people were on at once!

Now, though? Just a barren wasteland of untamed wilderness, and little to no people willing to claim it.

I miss the days where KINGDOMS were built, NATIONS were developed, KINGS and QUEENS were elected! I miss the days where Hazordhu was at least at the top of the list, with so many players on it to keep it alive! I miss the days when Hazordhu was more than just some random game, but a new, fun life that people lived in order to escape their boring lives outside the screen!

So now, I ask... what the heck happened? Why can't we go back to those days, now? Is it life, or is it strife? Have people really lost that spark of adventure? Of nation-building?

Is it a lost cause to reach out to people, these days? Should I just pull the plug on the whole operation? Should I just leave BYOND, and find something else to cure my constantly growing depression, uncertain of if I can even FIND something like that?

I don't even know, anymore... I need answers.

So now, I ask... what is it that's keeping you away from this game? Please respond... I need to know. I need to know if this community is even listening!
