I just started playing again yesterday, and to my surprise during the 3~4 hours I was trying to do F4 Hook runs I saw only like 3~5 people (this was at like 8 PM EST,) so has a lot of the people that use to play this left?

Were you in the level recommended channel (2)?

[HiRyan]

If you go to the recommended channel maybe you'll find parties.

[Svelata]

Sometimes its really easy and sometimes its really hard.

Yes, I did go to the recommended channel, and there was no one there.

One instance does not speak for a mass generality. People weren't on or near there when you were--simple as that.

And 8 EST is when BSQ starts, dude.

To be fair, people that level can't join BSQ. However, take into account the amount of alts that people are leveling and whatnot, and the general time, I think he made a silly mistake in turning to the famous "This game is dead!" opinion.

Did you agree or not agree? lol. It sounds like you said no incorrect and then wait you're correct.

But he said hookah. and most people realize that you can lvl fast in this game. And people do have a lot of alts for farming. right now i got 2. but i need like 4-5 total, lol.

Not necessarily either--there's shades of gray between black and white. What I'm saying is that, while I agree that he's being silly, BSQ might not be the sole reason. However, I thought of some points that would help support the BSQ argument such has having alts and leaving those alts to go on their mains to do BSQ.

I see what you mean.

I've found most people to be active at around 3pm EST and right after BSQ.

That's strange that you're surprised--I just leveled a ranger into a gren and spent a great deal of time at Atoo with an abundance of people to party with.

[Akihiro]

I usually find that Ahtoo is nearly always empty, but I think nothing of it because Rokko is always packed.

Yeah but last time I checked Atoo was when we were with THQ

I didn't say this game is dead, I never believe a game is truly dead till the service is discontinued, but I didn't see anyone in Port of Wind and at the channel select the bars were not that high, which made me assume the populous shrunk.

Also, is it safe to assume that there are fansites that have more activity than the main ones (which is generally the case?)

Forgive me for slipping you in with that bunch. I believe that the bars are not indicative of the population. Keep in mind we merged two servers into one--it's entirely possible that the "capacity" was increased, so to speak.

Also, I believe with Dragon Saga/Dragonica, the main sites are far more populated. The forums here and at IAH are very active in discussion and I have yet to find a fansite for it, let alone one that has the same activity.

I'm an old player as well (from THQ like...2009ish...), my first day back playing. And I have to agree with the OP, compared to back then there are way less people in the game. Not to say that it's dead and I can't find people to party with, because I do. But I do notice there are less people in town (Libra) and hanging around the mission map. There's less people running around the field too...I'd normally chalk that up to this new teleport/puff system (which is awesome!) but then I should still see tons of people in the towns n stuff. I was by the Valid Raeth mission map and in whatever channel level 40's go in :x Around 8pm EST.

i believe most of everyone that left, left right after Thq decided to stop running dragonica. I beleieve dragonica was down like a month or two before warportal actually brought it back up again. So If i didnt play a game in a month or two id definitely would forget about it. Thats the case i believe happened to most old thq players.

The game is dying, so everyone is quitting. Simple as that.

And your comments are helping the game get players so well! I applaud you.
