Why are these servers low population?
- 1. They typically do not advertise like traditional RSPS and rely on word of mouth completely.
- 2. They are not released 100% completed, might not be actively worked on, or instead at a slower pace.
- 3. Players may expect QoL updates and new content to keep the game fresh.
- 4. They get some mechanics wrong which can make players disinterested.
- 5. Inter-community drama.
- 6. People are looking for a server with a healthy population.
Players want to see real effort and want to know there are others to share the experience with them. Do some more research. If one ticks all your boxes, seriously give it a shot!
