Is the game dying, I used to play this game years ago like in 2018 then came back 2 years after and now I am back but I despite seeing a merge in servers I see very little players running around as well as less people placing their shops, I remember Belvast and Dunbarton full of player shops but now I havent seen Dunbarton fill out once, did they change the player market area or are there just few players left?
I plan on coming back to the game and reach end game content since I never actually did that but with so few players I think it will be hard to find people to play with often.

For reference, I've played this game on and off over the years since open beta. I've definitely seen the game in maaaaany different states with regard to the player base.
And the server merge really helps
We're probably going to get a new server by the end of next year though
If you check the BEYOND patch notes you can see some poor guy ran through the entire campaign to make sure their were no bugs to get stuck on during the main storyline ( In 2024? )
Only issue I see is how busted some classes are like Ninja, cloaking and running up to bosses and blasting them with Sakura Abyss, Not sure how they are going to handle that
If Erinn is getting crowded they will add more channels, rather than make a new server; I think they've learned their lesson. Now, if there is a limit to how many channels per server THEN they would make a new server. Of course, over the course of several years, this would be a temporary measure, since eventually one server will crowd out the other, and we are back to one.
Channel 7 was the Tarlach channel. To them, it was what channel 1 was to Alexina, Mari, and Ruairi. I remember when they fired up Nao, channel 7 was the second most active channel but over the course of the first month it slowly faded away; I was actually a little bit melancholy about it and I wasn't even a Tarlachite.
Oh, sounds about right. I was really relieved cause that had been my main channel and it was more laggy than my pc could handle at the time. Funny though cause now I mostly stay on another channel. Which has also gotten pretty lively lately, though thankfully nowhere near as bad as ch1 gets.
Yep, channel 1 is the shopping channel. If one isn't shopping then why be there?
Our server isn't as populated as it was when people were originally hyped up for the server merges, but it's still pretty lively IMO. Whenever there's a GM meet up it's as crowded as the Alexina parties were, which Tarlach and other servers never had event spots that were that crowded. And for in-game event hubs, I always see plenty of people AFK there across all channels, and especially on Ch1.
So the game is 100% better, even now in 2024, compared to 2018 Tarlach.
The good news is we've already had them put in the budget, time, and effort into server merges already. So there should be less maintenance cost of keeping Mabi NA running. Even if the servers become less active, as long as we have fashionogis buying gachapons we'll be ok!
Ahhh, really? The first few years I was playing, there was auction and player shops in belvast. For me, the change felt abrupt. I guess I can see that being the reason, but I hoard so much I still have a lot to sell even with auction.
