What do you mean?
This didn't come about recently, it has been there as long as I myself remember. I haven't been with it as long as others, but I've been around about 5-6 years.
No the game really isn't dead. It's full of trolls who act like they are higher than everyone else...
I went there a few times like last month, and it was dead. Of course there were 1-2 people there, but they were mostly inactive or doing unwarranted activities. Just because there can be 1-5 people can be there at a time doesn't mean they are all active and such.
Wasn't it always like that?
I guess it wasn't for some time, but as the people who did go lessened, the trolls were all that was left... And now even they're bored of it, feeling so alone...
