I don't think so. I just think a lot of people are getting tired of Puppets and those are dying off.

NS is like the Stock Market, it goes up and down...we're in a sort of recession now, but newbs are starting to come back, true a larger than normal number are n00bs, but its all good.
NS WILL NEVER DIE!

Some of us are waiting for the server to be shifted to make a strong comeback.

In your opinion it might be. Just means you're dying, not the game. The game has ups and downs, I don't think it'll die unti NS 2 comes out, when many will move there

Well...I don't really know, as I'm pretty new here. However, I know that I'll be around for a while. Though I'll probably move over to NS2 when that opens up. And yeah, the server is the only major reason I haven't been able to recruit my friends into signing up and sticking around.

So naturally, my vote was for peanut butter.

The quality of players is dying, but the game itself will never die.

The forums are less fun because word games were banned. But hopefully when the Jolt move comes, Word Games will be legal.

yes. why, i remember the good ol' days when i was only 100 million, the forum was always packed with spammers, mods, and regulars, and all sort of noobs. Of course, im a NS Boom nation. You see, when the first people decovered Nation States they told all their friends. So causing a huge number of new nations. (I was told of this game by a friend.) Do you older nationa remember those days?

Not dying, I think, but the UN resolution quality < almost anything...I didn't want to mess with it, so I resigned. :)

People have been saying this since I started here last summer.


That being said, I vaugely remember when membership in the forums hit 100,000, (sometime last fall, IIRC).
Then it peaked around 125-130,000 a few months ago.
It has been declining slowly but steadily ever since.

The inability to post due to the slow server has a lot to do with it.

I think new nations will slow down because people like me started playing this in school

Hiya Mutant Dogs <waves>

It's not as active as when i joined in the winter - but not suprising as a lot of people have been doing exams/going on holiday/gardening/going outside/leaving university etc.

At least i can get on the forum these days...most of the time :D

I dont think its dying. What are you basing your statement on? If its member numbers, I can tell you that membership of NS has shrunk and grown several times now, between 80,000 to 120,000 people. Its nothing to worry about

I doubt it will die. Many games such as Race War Kingdoms seems to die down, them magically revives itself, multiple times. I don't expect this game to just die. P.S BTW, I'm new. All hail Therasil!
