With the current server he released it extremely early into development when it had 0 content added. Players came here, tried it and left because there wasn't a lot to do. Even around the stage we had about 200-300 online there was very little to do outside of slayer and pking, so players quit after a few weeks because it got boring very fast.
The majority of remaining players are "veterans" with established accounts. It is very difficult for new players to join the game because nobody is willing to trade items, therefore the main game mode ends up like a variant of iron man mode. No amount of updates is going to solve this problem. The economy has received too many drastic changes over the past 2 years and it has completely killed the main game mode.
Palidino's best oppertunity to popularise this game would be a "re-release" of the main game mode.
