Server Population

Title says all =)

College just started on monday, so people who are not smart don't have the option of playing a game and going to college. ^^

I don't remember the last time I checked the server population, but I can probably assume yes. It's September- and that's when many people begin to have school again and have a far too busy schedule to play RO. The server population increases a lot during the summer but decreases during the school year.

I see. So we need more people from non-4-seasons countries.

It's a problem every game faces. There will be more traffic in the summer because the general player base is something around ages 10-20 (I'm guessing) and these age groups have more free time in the summer.

The younger players are probably more likely to continue to play during the rest of the year as middle school and high school isn't really that demanding but college students will most likely be inactive.

I say we need more players in general, regardless of season. It's difficult to find people who play at the same rate year round.

I think the server will pull through though. I go inactive during my college semesters then play during my breaks and it's worked out fine so far.

It always does this when college/school starts, it'll bounce back. xP
