game is doing fine as a MMO, if your not finding enough people to do events, or play with you need to find a better ls plan an simple. sorry to be blunt but the whining about hard mode and lack of people is annoying... i play on Saronia one of the most UNPOPULATED servers in the game and we have 20-30 members in are ls at any given time and always plenty of people for events normally have to make overflow parties..
