Is the game finally dead, or is something upcoming?

Everytime I log in, it is a complete wasteland. Just a small population in pub flying around. No twd matches, no duels, no nothing. Not only TW, but for every zone. The game menu server list population doesn't even seem to exceed 100 for TW at peak hours, that is ludacris! The game is a nostalgia graveyard, and now it seems like finally, after all these years, it is at its last breath. Not sure if anything is upcoming, as staff seems to have abandoned the game, but I don't get the slighest of an urge to log in anymore. It is sad really, so sad. I will miss this game.

Traditionally IIRC we're in the very nadir of the Subspace year, the time of lowest population. You can add up all those who have left for summer trips and gotten out of the SS routine, or gone back home for school and not yet returned, and have quite a large group of people. It's traditionally the time of change for the northern hemisphere. Once fall starts up again, numbers usually pick up again.

The main purpose behind TSL was to have a league that could be played despite uneven schedules, something that wouldn't require people to show. I think it was a pretty big success in that regard. We had game after game even during the week in a time where it's considered impossible to get enough to show. Though some argue it may have also coincided with the final nail in TWD's coffin. (Without it, I think you could argue TWD would also have been on its way out. Though of course, it could always make a resurgence.)

This lag issue's also prevented many people from playing. Doing our best to resolve it but it's taking an incredibly long time (it's taken quite awhile in the past, too... Superb are legendarily lazy deadbeats). If you're one of those who can't play, you might try a free VPN like WindScribe or another one listed here: http://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-vpn It seems counter-intuitive, but changing the location of your connection can mean it takes a different path to the server, avoiding the specific hop of gtt.net that is causing this issue.
