Where the hell did everyone go?

I came online today to come out of my retirement for a rare game. There was no one on line.
Has the game died?

Pretty sad.

We are all waiting for the virtual reality version of Mule. I believe some people here want to feel 'close' to their mechanical mules 'not that there's anything wrong with that'.

The real reason its dying, the same reason online poker has been on a downtrend is what is referred to as 'bumhunting' the term means an expert that waits and wait for complete noobs and then quickly joins up and destroys them.

We've got guys like Gohar, Pap and motorman who refuse to play real games and only play people with a few games under their belt. There isn't enough 'fish' to feed them. On top of it these guys don't say a peep in the game other than to admonish the noob, which doesnt make for an inviting environment. Essentially they've damaged the whole eco-system. It gets worse as time goes on. You went on and couldnt find a game, it is unlikely that you find waiting for a game to be a good use of your time, eventually everyone withdraws.
