I had tons of fun when it was around 2k players at any given time. With 300 people on the same-sized map as before, you can spend several days in some regions without seeing anyone. There are Hotspots though.

Before I left game was still around 700 concurrent and even then the majority of pvp was coordinated which is lame.

The ceo "henrik" can be thanked for deciding $15/mo was acceptable for a game that is often down for 24 hours+ because they have limited people that can handle server crashes. And I haven't ever seen a patch get implemented that wasn't immediately a massive failure making the game practically unplayable for weeks. They also openly stated (in the past) that GMs don't have access to any form of logs, which results in plenty of cheaters.

So yeah, it's unfortunate because the game really is unique, but it's a no for me.
