2nd: the reason we've opened this poll is like i said to see if the community is still there for us like we are for them. Dont get me wrong that doesnt mean that we're gonna open it anyway. No matter how much we love esro's old community we're talking about real money that cant be just threw away (id open esro again even if i dont gain anything but not lose anything aswell but thats only me.)

And you find it surprising that people stay on a server where they've spent their time and money on items they'd lose by leaving?
A shutdown forced them to leave, I guess the server wasn't as profitable as desired anymore.
Anyone can open up such a server, your only advantage over the rest is probably the existing characters on the database.

The less profitable something is the higher is the chance on losing money, so you're taking a risk anyway.
I suppose the majority of the esro players either left silkroad or found a proper server to play on. I doubt that you would reach a decent player count to balance your costs.
(Considering the fact that the most players are attracted by allegedly fancy new features which you wouldn't offer on your server)
