I also have to agree wirh this. Registration needs to open more, even for just one day out of the week. I don't think it's losing people from lack of updates or change, it's losing people because no one new is coming in to give us old timers something to do. When I first joined I would see 700-800 people online regularly, even reaching into the 1000s. Things got crazy and the lag could become unbearable, but it was a sign that the game was healthy and huge. People were silly and funny, making fast food characters and mate centers, it was hectic and I loved it lol. Now everyone seems so serious and they talk only in groups or something.
Now if I try to start a conversation it takes a bit of work but in the end everyone seems to have a good time. I think with the new patch coming out it will attract more people, but we need to help them join and let them know that we are accepting new members at this time and this date. The old maps were very simple and didn't really connect at all with each other, now the maps are so detailed and cared for but they are all pretty similar except for the underwater one. I think the new patch will combine everything, extreme detail and care with a lot of variety and little connection to each one. If it is going in that direction then I think registration needs to open up as well, with an update like that people should be flooding in to check it out.
I love this game, I got a tattoo of it on my wrist, I have memories that will never be forgotten. I want to see it continue to develop and grow as much as it can but I'm scared we may not get there in time.
I too think the update will attract some people. They should open registration for a few days as the update rolls out and if they let the community know they are doing that, maybe we could advertise and hype it up. Also I woould have a tattoo of it by now if I had been old enough. Ill probably get one in the future!
I gotta agree with this. As someone who has been on this game since it's initial release, I remember when the online user count was 300-500+. Did it cause lag? Obviously, but at the same time it was at it's peak of popularity and it was amazing watching it grow and grow. I understand why the registration closed due to the large mass, but that's also the reason why I believe many users have left to this day. Of course, in general people grow out of things, have a life outside of the online world, etc. But for the people who do want to join, it's a pain waiting for registration to open considering how random it is. I have no issue with registration being closed at times, I just think at this point it should be open more than it's closed, yknow? Or have it scheduled in some way. I have no idea what part the admins play in the registration and whether they have control of it or not, which if they don't, it's completely understandable and I get it's something they can't do. However, if it's possible, I think the idea of having registration open at certain times which people are aware of, or even just for longer periods of time, would be very beneficial. That would draw in more people, especially if it's advertised, along with the new patches/updates we're getting already. I'd love nothing more than to see this game grow once again and continue to develop. It's been open for so long, we're in need of fresh members. Though this is just my opinion, and whatever happens, happens 
Same here! Being here since its initial or atleast SUPER close to it, I had such an amazing time with all the people. I know Red says to overlook the population and focus on the rp but we cant have rps if there arent enough people and the only kind of people just join an rp and never get on again or are just tabbed the whole time. I miss running around flourite and seeing all matters of groups to join! You cant really do that anymore. Just to get in one rp these days is very intensive. You need to fill out a roleplay sample that to be honest, is judged on the recruiters POV of what is considered "good and literate writing". You have to join their discord, their website, read the rules and regulations, download the map, download the presets, sometimes its required that you have a bio already, you have to sometimes read character creation guides, they make you change minute details about your character IE: "your eyes are a TAD bit too bright/dark", you gotta log and add sometimes long and complicated tags, you gotta pick a rank out of like a million sub-ranks, you have to read some of the lore, etc. By the end of all of that, its exhausting and especially me, i dont have the drive i had 20-30 minutes ago after trying to do all of this to rp. The newbies who come in have no idea how to do ANY of this and we just EXPECT them to know. If you mess up on an RPS just a little bit, you are denied access and never allowed in. Come on! Like, teach the poor guy if his punctuation is like two commas off! Thats how I learned. Not to mention so many of the leaders of these roleplays (especially in warriors roleplays) are ALL THE SAME PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. Every single one of them almost its the same people leading them. These people are so used to being leaders, its like they have this cold wall and they act all stone faced and "professional". Its an rp for gods sake! I get it, you have to enforce rules but when you get suuper into it, like being extra into it, its boring and to be frank, quite irritating. Cool, I tripped up on one small thing and now i have one strike out of three and then im banned. These things to me dont bother me as much as they used to. All of us who have been around a while are used to all of this, numb to it. Maybe its time we get a lot of new people in to teach us how to have fun again.
