Not really dead, or even remotely close.. Doesn't help this is the na forums and its 1am, smack dab in the middle of America . also what's forum population have to do with the game? Lol. All you'll find here is a few randoms like me(because I'm laying in bed browsing forums befor I pass out) and a bunch of trolls and the angry kids. The rest of them spend more time on the game.
