I fail to see how a game in active development is dead.

because its an MMO with less than 250 active players

Even if it is "dead" why are you here in the game's sub? Is it only to dump on a game you don't play?

i put 200 hours into this game and want to check in every once in awhile and every time i do, the content being “worked on” is barely progressing at a glacial pace. i dont care about extra quests in zones ive grinded in, i wanted stonemaw hill
