Where is everyone in Broa?

Good evening, all.

I've been a part of Broa for over a decade now. While I know that the game has suffered a few server deaths where players either "age out" or just move on to something else. I've noticed that only a few servers have a decent number of players online. From what I've seen, Reboot has been vastly busy (though the last thread I saw was that Reboot was dead?), and only two other main servers on the NA side are consistently busy.

Can anyone explain this? I rarely see ANYONE in Broa. Seems like I've Broa all to myself most of the time. I'm also in search of an active guild, too... as a side note.

V/r,
Thomas

    Yay 2 people on Broa now LOL xD

    Everyone went to Bera for cookies and now stayed.

    Also school is in session, so servers might get busier in the summer months.

    I saw quite a few on Broa recently during the pop-up events that have taken place, but Broa still has those auto-players scattered about.

    No server is dead, just scattered. ;)

    Wow Yeah same here. Haven't played Maple in about 7 years and I miss it a lot. I tried to reconnect with people in the game but a lot of my friends have aged out too. Broa is my main server and i miss having some fun people to speak to. While I know there are a lot of new players I would really like to connect with people who remember how Maple used to be. Seems like a fun way to get back into the game again.

    Glirotus,

    Went to Bera for cookies? Maybe I missed something, or maybe that was tongue-in-cheek. Was there some event or update that made Bera more attractive to players?

    I definitely understand the school thing being a deterrent. I'm... well, 32, so the school thing doesn't really affect me, haha... although I am in school for Electrical Engineering.

    Maybe using the word "dead" was a bit strong, but it's far from being as alive as it used to be. It doesn't help, too, that there are twice or maybe even three times as many places to go as before.

    I'm still looking for a guild, too. I've done the guild search in the game, and nobody responds. Eesh.

    V/r,
    Thomas

    There was a world transfer event some time ago. Scania and Windia were blocked off due to high populations, Reboot was blocked off for being Reboot. Bera as the next open world, so a large number of players moved to Bera.

    Yes that... basically started with a world transfer event and popular maple twitch streamers started to flock there along with a lot of other players.

    Yes I too noticed a dip in my friends list, especially because I am seeing all those #numbers as their offline player names.

    The pop-up events still have players, just nobody in PQ rooms like a few years ago though.

    There are still active guilds but the big popular ones moved to Bera, maybe there are some that stuck around for you. (=

    Glirotus,

    I kinda wish there was another world transfer event. I have a number of characters in Bellocan, too. I'll hang around Broa as long as it's beneficial. Now that I'm in the 200's, I run into people in Arcana fairly often. Thanks!

    Traveler,

    I'm 32, and don't think I'll ever truly age out. It's something I've enjoyed to do for over a decade, and I'm not convinced that my age should deter me from doing what I enjoy in my leisure. Know what I mean?

    Saifs,

    I see them every so often in Arcana. I'm in HeartTwin right now, and it's pretty dead. The alliance guild we're with has at most 5 or 6 people on at the same time. It's not very interactive. I try to talk to people every so often, but it's mainly crickets. I don't know... maybe the lot of them are in different parts of the world. Either way, I'll check it out.

    V/r,
    Thomas

    Ahhh! Got curious about the game again after almost 10 years since I last played!
    Forgot my old account so started a new one - didn't even think anything of starting in Broa again because that's always where I've been!
    38 levels later , I *finally* noticed that it was pretty quiet - I looked it up and turns out everyone went to Bera :P SIGH! Oops!

    The game makes leveling so much easier compared to the old days (where level 70 was a huge deal!) I'll stick around and hopefully bump into someone!! :P
