I don't agree at all. There are more people on the server. During the Nilly vs Azrael (whichever Azrael iteration) the pop peaked at 140-160.
There are more guilds, more players, less contesting. Empire cannot control the less contesting part. I'm not sure what the long term plan for Friends, TMO, and Casual Scum is but I'd imagine at some point they will want a taste of the bigger pixels and would put a fight, likely when Empire numbers take a blow, because as you know even with Nihilum after enough time people get bored and the guild has to go more into a recruitment phase.
I think there are better days ahead if we're talking contesting, but it starts with the OP
