What a clueless take
”our dying population”
Still a Top 5 Darkrp Server Based on ranking on Battlemetrics https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/gmod?features[c763648e-8d6e-11e9-9a0b-5bbb587702ca][or][0]=dbaf2421-8d71-11e9-8336-65d30e26a32c&countries=US
Same thing for game tracker
if you also take a 2nd to look it seems multiple top US darkrp servers have taken a hit rankings wise , (I can’t go too far back, but I would assume also losing a couple of players)
if you also look at how Gmod is doing with players overall you would notice that the game lost over 30-32% of its population. which during this game of the year is normal but definitely on the higher side.
You should expect to see a 10-20% gmod pop increase going into December and January.
so let me re-clarify/reiterate for you
the server isn’t dying, its not close to dying. Take it from someone whos seen periods like this over my 10,000 Hours / 8-9 Years playing this game.
