You have pvmers and bad players managing a pvp game so a lot of the pvpers are really frustrated with the terrible mechanics and lack of staff's willingness to listen to or change anything.

getting new players isnt the problem, its getting them to stay once they see the casting/mortal spam/cu exploits

Right now we have about 20-30 active pvpers spread throughout the day, with double that might log in every month. And theres 150+ players(rough estimation) that have tried demise pvp and left due to casting and exploits in the last year, its still crazy to me how a self proclaimed osi accurate server has these completely obvious bugs/exploits/inaccurate mechanics with no plan or transparency on fixing them. It's really hindering to the population.

Not to mention a healthy pvp population comes with a healthy pvm population as well.

I think PVP used to be fun when there were a lot more guilds. Most of them got banned though, and while I hate cheaters, I'd rather play against cheaters than not get to play at all :<

I feel like in the last 3 years its just been everyone leaving guilds to join the biggest which then kills PVP.

Also, what is Ryan's stance on the situation? Has anyone tried reaching out to him? Is he just not replying? Also whoever was left in charge, I just don't understand why they can't open the donation store. Pay themselves a reasonable salary since they were left to manage the server (company), that is what a person who manages a company does. Any attorney's here that can give their input?

I kind of recall the issue being that they were worried about Ryan taking legal action since they didn't have his permission. But couldn't a donation store be opened to donate funds to staff? People could knowingly be giving donations to the staff. Kinda like if someone start farming gems or something and post a website about how they will take donations for the gems farmed in game. Technically its illegal to game rules but how would that be illegal irl?

Demise doesn't have a structured system to listen to constructive feedback from its players and has a history of favoritism towards people that valor a repetitive, abusive way of playing.

People will argue that because it's free we can't complain. Well, then the message is pretty clear: stop playing here and find another shard that suits your needs.

I got the message and plenty of people did as well.
