Perhaps you can suggest to PWI exactly how they can afford to lower prices when the costs to run this game are so high and there are so few players. And where is the money supposed to come from? You think they run this server for free? And the guys like Atzigan is doing this as volunteers? How many people you think is left here? 100? 200? How many of them are actually donating more than the bare minimum to get along with their characters? I would totally shocked if these guys are not running in the red as it is and using the other games they are hosting here to keep it afloat.

Yet you want then to reduce prices.

If you don't think it costs big money to run these servers, I suggest you try creating your own Rohan pserver and see for yourself what kind of costs are involved in keeping it running for more than a month of two. Even a pserver isn't cheap top run. I think you would find you have a pretty tough time keeping that server open even with the population here - and you wouldn't have a tenth of the operating overhead these guys have.

But hey. You know better don't you.
your answer is they blew it. had they lowered prices back when ISEN was started and it was very much full of players, it would have worked
