Just curious where these generalized comments come from, not sure of anyone who shares that sentiment.
So many come back, similar to you and are active for a month or two and leave out of frustration. So the population never really grows. It is a shame, but I see this same thing happen over and over and just the names are different. Just some examples - some months back we had Rumpy and a few months later we had Cheapsuit and Wulf returning and where are any of them now. So today we have Spyderbite and Rico and from the looks of their posts, I don't expect to see much longer, either. Would be great if I am wrong... And I know there are many more names and it is just a terrible cycle but no one rides it out long enough and so we just dwindle as the hardcore regulars eventually subside as well.
So no, I can't show you anything that shows a flourishing server, but if you choose to leave, it is just another step further away from bringing Siege back to glory days.
So start a new trend and stay...please
