I agree! It is sad. I'm on the forum of a couple other regions that have varied success. Equilism, is really making a resurgence in activity. There are several factors for their increased usage. Their role play section is really bringing in active players. Their new government, has brought a lot of activity as well. I'm observing in an extremely active region as well, trying to figure out what the key to activity and growth is.
I'd like to see this place blossom. But I don't know what the key to success is.
