Is it just me, or does it seem like fames have been really depressed for awhile, all over? I remember there being 600+ fame gangs in at least 4 towns, simultaneously. Now it's tough to find even one above 500, in all of Evan.

I know the game has been very dead of late - are fames tied to the active player base, or only obliquely, as in by the amount of player losses?

It might be a good time to turn up the fames, or regen rate, or modify the formula altogether.

there must be a relation... when the lobby was full and a lot of players logged in, somerset returns were common

now somerset returns are rare with the small amount of players logged in

The more players lose, the better NPC fame gets. We have fewer newbies getting destroyed.

Is this game seriously so dead, that this post generated all of 2 responses?

We need to do something about changing the fame mechanics, if this much smaller regular & subscribed player base persists, which it surely appears set to do.

Maybe they can all just look at the fames and see 900 fame gangs in Shanty, 450 in gateway, 180 elms etc. and realise this is a personal issue not a game issue?

I personally tend not to use forums because most constructive criticisms are trol'd by nazi marshals. Who by the way stopped playing after they got their way with the bull#### vent ban on krakhedd. The community was ripped asunder when they believed moths' lies and now we have went from averaging 20+ a day to 10 player a day.
