but try to get players that are around 10-13 ..hmm most players that would enjoy this game are lovers of anime. So if you have any friends online or rl that you can see they would like this game, then suggest it to them, do not force it upon them, just suggest and tell them what server you play on! so that way they for sure will already have a friend in the game, and if they have any questions or need help, then you can help them. As for the events..20rounds release which was made to make old players happy, played part in some people leaving, it is pretty hard even for ppl that are "high" lvl so imagine for those who are not? and I do not know about others but there is no way I could pass 20 rounds if I did not have an earth with fairy skill, and a bunch of glazes, and it takes me one whole hour to pass just one team trough 20rounds. The thing is people would like to see their name when they finished the 15rounds it was a big accomplishment, but the fact that now you can't see your characters name flash by unlesss you pass the 20th round..eliminated a lot of people, it went from seeing names consistantly troughout the two ours and even afterwards, to now you only see about 4 teams making it, so it just divides the players more. Think, first you feel discouraged that only players who pay can really get forward, I mean a low lvl character with a bunch of Im equip maxed can do about the same damage as a high lvl character w no IM's, and then you get evennts like the 20 rounds where most people struggle trough round16 and some still struggle to pass 14th and 15th, at least before they would get recognition for their hard work, now is nearly impossible. A thing you could do to revive the game, at least in your server, would be to become a good alchemist, and sell your items for gold, not super cheap that people don't have to work for it, but not too expensive that people feel discouraged but then you have to beware of those who buy just to resell for IM's. Another thing you could do is just talk...if you see players online, talk to them, and do not give them a facebook or stuff like that because what most ppl would play the game was to talk to their friends there that were only reachable trough game. That way you'll be make the game experience better for them! Try speaking in world chat, even if it's just something random or just ask people hey anyone else playing or am I the only one left? pouting face? lol you might get some replies and from their make some friends. So yea if you can bring in people to the game, like lets say about at least 100 and if at least 25 of the like it and stay and tell their friends then you will solve the population issue somewhat..like I said at least in your server, you know how there's the annoying type of kpop fans that even if kpop is not related to whatever your talking about or watching, they bring it up somehow and tell eveyone they know -_- well do that, some will find it annoying, but if you talk to more ppl about it you are bound to have better chance of getting some ppl to play it and stay
