Also, uniques seem to live way too long, I mean, with 100+ players they tend to die in less than 10 minutes, yet they don't here: [IMG=expandable: 1]https://i.imgur.com/E2tVbqo.png[/IMG]
That looks fake, as if the website boosted that player count on purpose. Can anyone confirm that this server is populated this much (can also send screenshots from various locations)?
I'm not stating that they're actually boosting the values, I'm just asking because this doesn't really make sense to me. No hate intended in any way.

Your screenshot doesn't really tell anything. Isyutaru died in just two minutes and Demon Shaitan is harder to kill. Also I noticed that such info on the website can be wrong sometimes.
I see a lot of accusations of fake player count in this thread and I don't think they are justified. I can't really tell myself, it could be fake. Someone here mentioned player count being more than 1000 after restart but I checked this once and saw just ~300 players on the website.
But what can I tell and what is probably more important is that this server didn't really lose many players if any at all in almost 3 months which is quite impressive. I played here since day 1 (tho inactive recently) and there are roughly same amount of people in Hotan and roughly same amount of Parties in matching. I've seen a few guilds disband but new ones seem to be taking their place.
To add to that, admins are active and constantly listen to player feedback. Egy B items are still disabled. Bugs are being fixed, even old SRO ones like knockdown bug (some players said it's still not fixed but the effort can be complimented). So, imo the "Longtime" term isn't without a reason.
However, not everything is positive about this server. Just like in almost any server donators have the advantage. Even bigger recently considering silk items are increasing in price every week in terms of gold. Imo the whole coin system for Egy items isn't enough, there are other factors like fellow pets and alchemy (I don't think it's possible to have a +9 set without donating), also the presence of damage/absorption/HP scrolls is just peak Pay2Win, don't tell me otherwise. Same thing with the absence of silk scrolls, it's just an inconvenience and doesn't change anything to call the experience "Play2Win". At least temporary alchemy plus scrolls are being removed.
Others pointed out issues with HWT grind but that has been improved two times already. Battle of Infinity is even worse that HWT, it feels like a daily chore for Arena Coins but admins stated in Discord that they plan to remove BOI entirely and replace it with CTF, that would be great.
So these are my thoughts about this server. As I said I'm inactive recently but not entirely because I dislike this server, there are good things and the server feels unique compared to other servers because it's iSRO-R based. There is always room for improvement though.
