Current player base.

Events are completely GM dominated, players can hold simple events but can be ruined by idiot players and without GM commands you cant do much.

As for battlegrounds, theyre working on it. Just like the Death Zone screenshot that has been one of the loading screens for who knows how long, and that was supposed to be coming soon too or so i understood.

As for WoE, not to bring this into a huge WoE thread like many others but the rewards for WoE are already justifiable by doing WoE. You get great guild dungeons with MVPs in them and mini-boss monsters, as well as the loots. The thing with heRO WoE is that no one wants to do it because they dont like to lose and the standard for a WoE player on this server is a bit higher than most. Not because of player skill but rather only the top tier players of the server do WoE. I say if everyone WoE'd then eventually there wouldnt be those 2 guilds that battle for the low eco castle and end up getting rolled by one of the stronger guilds at the end. If everyone WoE'd the new guys would obviously get their asses kicked at first but everyone who WoEs has lost or gotten killed before people will learn and get better, but no one seems to want to "learn". Or they just say they dont like WoE or PVP in which i reply why are you playing RO?

Ragnarok Online is a dying game in general so to see a decline in activity isnt a big deal. Also to mention a lot of people going back to school this week (like myself). A little less activity isnt that big of a deal if you ask me.
