Due to the old-style nature of the game and the heavy grind, the game's current population is on a rapid decline for many years, with many players moving on to newer MMORPGs with more modern features. The active playerbase is estimated to be around 10 concurrent players as of Jan 2020, with each player owning multiple 'alts' or alternative characters, creating the illusion that the game has over dozens of players. A recent attempt at getting the game to Steam to increase player base has resulted in failure. Nevertheless, server costs for the game remains low.
