What reasons do you think we do not have more players here? Do people not like pre-luclin gameplay/content? Do people just not know that P99 exists? Kids that played 16 years ago are now adults and have no interest in online games?

I understand when SoV is released, the population will increase, but with more than 200,000 subscribers in 1999, you would think that more people would be inclined to play here, especially since it's free. I would like one day to see the population grow so much that the devs are able to open a second server identical to the current servers.
You're numbers are off. You are comparing the people currently logged in, not the whole player base. That number is probably closer to 10k.(my guess) Secondly, the active people on any given server from that era was around 1800ish.(during that era looking at a screenshot someone posted a while back)

Considering it's 16 years later, this server is beyond in good shape population wise.
