I think the reason why so many people are going to Ruairi is because the OP lists more people in Ruairi. But how many of those people actually play, and how often? And how many more people have started playing, and haven't been added? I'm one of the few people that have posted on this topic for more than a few pages.
Who still actively plays this anyways? My Blocklanders category on my friendslist rarely has anyone online.
For those that play on Mari, I can help with anything.
