Hiya slug,
Ya lots of people still play, the 2 American Servers Emerald and Markov had a server merge a couple of months ago, The new server is called "Gemini" that helped alot with the population, and most people left Werner and went to Gemini (Including me), so it's pretty much all 3 servers rolled into one
There are often Cont Locks (which means the continent is too full to allow more people)
it's still alot of fun, you should come back!
