Might be time for server merges

Like what was done with FFXI when the population started to decline. And maybe institute a free to play up to a certain level, say level 10, to bring in new blood for fates. I was overseas for almost a year, and when i come back, there's no one doing fates, barely anyone doing the yo-kai watch event, and with the amount of fates you need to do, for it, it's just unbarable solo. If you want to do card tournaments, or lord of verminion, you're out of luck, exactly no one is doing them anymore. We need more people, and new blood, or at least free server transfers.

They're already implementing the ability to face people in the same data center for LoV and TT. They mentioned it in the patch notes. Search for the term 'Battlehall'

As with the Yo-kai watch event, everyone was storming to do them at the very start. The event ends very soon on October 3rd, those that wanted the stuff already have them by now, and others either didn't care, or only got what they wanted.

Plus there's the fact that it's been a good while since the last update (Not including the one being worked on right now), and all servers tend to die down a bit when things get 'stale' for current raiders/ect.

I think it depends on the server that you are on, personally I'm over on Gilgamesh and there are people always doing fates and yo-kai and it was a lul so people took a break and are no back for patch.
