Well guys. What I'm about to say won't be received well but it's the truth. This shard is a joke.
I played the original IN from the beginning. It was a great shard with a great player base. I didn't play IN2 or any of the other incarnations of IN. By this time I had moved on to other MMO's. But the last couple years I've come back to UO, the only MMO that I've ever really loved, and have been playing on several different servers. So when I saw that IN was back I decided to check it out.
The OP asks why there are so few people on. To me the answer to this is pretty simple. This is not a serious server. Serious servers don't give away gold and skills.
I couldn't believe that my starting character was aloud to have GM healing, 90 magery, 90 resist, and 90 archery.
then I almost fell out of my chair when i was given 1000 gold just for typing .vote
where is the fun in the game when you are given everything?
this kind of stuff goes against everything we know about MMO's and why people play them. People want a sense of accomplishment with their characters. When you give everything away you are removing that drive for accomplishment.
