Let's talk about it.

the game itself just died.. asdave stated above players went to play other games (especially young people) and other players just grew up enough for this game or other games.. i don't think there is a way to get this server as it was before, also not to mention the other gunz server that has daily over 200 players online and still have new players to join it so yeah as you said players attract players so they of course will decide to play a server which has more player count and it is hard (impossible) to beat that server when you only have 50 players online everyday and need to increase it to 150 at least to get over

Hell, even a good 200ish players daily is all I really dream for. I highly doubt that we could get back to 500+ players again.

i doubt that you can see the players count increasing to 200, in general this game is too old, rather than that it's not famous enough to get new players easily
