This is definitely an administration/server set up that is at fault. No advertising and no incentives for new players made it so you were only losing players and never gaining any actual player base. It truly felt like the server set up was entirely set up just for those 2 big clans for a quick cash grab and for them to rush to get heroes and once they got them they left and cashed out. All their gear and toons are for sale on the adena sites and as for the solo and non cp players they all had to donate to just try to be relevant and then once the paid to play on the server the clans left and the server died out. There was nothing left, Because the player base became that few. Right now player base will still hover around 1k compared to the 5k it had a week and a half ago, but in all honesty i have no idea how long that 1k will even last due to only losing players and never getting any new ones and as i said before if its including shops and bots then the player base is definitely half of that.
