Anybody still playing? More accurately, any of the old folks still playing? Seems like I haven't been around here in ages. What's the current state of the game?
Remeber how terrible the population of the game was in 2007?
Divide that by about 20.....
Now on top of that with the house teleporters so people can go anywhere without leaving the inside of private housing (no longer a need to recall to outside steps or open a gate), 90% of the active houses being INSIDE a guard zone now (Ter-mur gate houses and new-mag houses), and the new dungeon loot system basicly making anything below an orny in power "wothless" even on siege, and don't even get me started on the farming of non-lootable points they just added that you can turn in for artifacts within the city GZ. Basicly the only thieving still viable is either being a pure spawn thief (but good luck EVER finding an active one on any shard but ATL) or being a tram guild infiltration thief. (unless you're really into bandages and pots i guess) Siege seems to fancy itself some sort of "wild west" still but frankly in the state it's in now it's more trammy than even the prodo shards were 5 years ago....which says a WHOLE lot for how the other shards are now too :/ I think Saint is the only one left on the shard at all really, with the state of the game most of the rest of us even on siege have left for greener pastures. (Mostly darkfall, "other" shards, and diablo3)
