Because all of the people who complain about player counts, lrp, erp servers and spinoff servers are too busy typing essays about it on here.

None of them actually want to play and "save" the game they just want live in their nostalgia and blame furries or whatever for the reason why their isn't a perfect server they like.

None of them want to hop on a low pop server. None of them want to learn to code and make updates and new content. None of them want to host a server or atleast contribute funds to do so.

The only way to get a sever to 100 pop is to be okay hopping on it when it’s <20 pop.

If you think that your server type is the best, build it and players will come. If every single person whose complained on this reddit started a discord together then maybe you could actually fill a server.

It's frankly pathetic. Especially u/Amaskingrey who apparently is the authority on what is and is not SS13 (And it apparently ends on Monke and Paradise station period). Not gonna happen tho cause people love to engage with those posts and comment mostly actually reasonable takes. But the OP's who keep bringing it up week after week are cringe, sorry.

A lot of people here say they can't enjoy ss14 because it's pixel based instead of tile based. What is the reason for this? I've played ss14 and while it not being tile based is a noticeable change I don't really see how it makes the game worse. I prefer ss13 because it still has way more content and features. Ss14 has a better engine and actually lets you fly ships which is awesome but not enough to overcome the content deficit.

When/if the content gap is closed it would be hard to justify staying on ss13 but for some people the pixel based system is a no go. Why is that?

When people say they want lrp, what does that actually mean?
What does lrp mean to you in your own words?

It looks like the game undergo some player loose and whatever. I assume most of the servers are private right (since I see none of the normal servers expect paradise which looking really weird) now and I want to know how to get recruited. This is not the game I remember from four years ago.

please
