I think it is pretty much this for most people in the RO community. :o

I think most the community who grew up with Ragnarok have upgraded their hardware and started playing higher quality games. When we were all younger, all we had were crappy computers that only could run RO at 40 FPS at best. I have tried playing other games and for the most part, at my age, they require far too much effort to enjoy. I've been playing League of Legends for about 8 months now, and even though I am pretty good at the game, I still find it extremely annoying and playing 1 or 2 games is about 2 hours. I just want something like RO, without needing to put in tons of time for very little reward. Cause in 2 hours on League, I would get a few hundred IP (in game money). And most Champions cost anywhere from 450 (old champs) to 6300 (new champs). So to get 6300 takes a lot of time to get, and I just don't want to spend countless days to get 1 new Champion.
Population's pretty small at the moment. This little thing I do before I log in-game is check the 'who's online' section over at the control panel. Usually I disregard all merchant-type classes and go straight to the others, then I pretty much count from there. Last week it was a very (teeny tiny) small number, but I've seen it rise over the week, though I'm not sure if that's it or it will again go down.
I can't even dedicate myself to the game now that classes are full back on for me. Real life just eats you alive. I have a lot of time to myself actually, some nights and afternoons and weekends. But I have more important stuff to do, and if I don't, I'd rather spend it resting than farming some etc etc gear. I think that thinking applies for most of the players, too.
Though I do get on if my guild gets something going ;;; doesn't happen too often though, all busy.
