Until you guys get comfortable enough to market your own product, you'll continue seeing it dwindle into oblivion. You can blame the players all you want and "bounce" as many rowdy party goers as you want but that won't solve the actual problem.

I'm not so sure those 3-4 IP's that went cold back in 2001 are the reason you see 20 players regularly today. I can think of many, many more players than that that have left the game because of Immortals and/or decisions that have taken gameplay/winning out of the hands of the players. I'll be pleasantly surprised if that ranger/conjie in scion with all the perks are actually played by non-imms but I won't hold my breath.
