First off fuck Reddit, and Redditors. /b/ for lyfe bitch. Second, who/what the fuck is a Bondle. Third: Why isn't Popfor perma banned yet? he makes even morons shake their heads in shame. As for the "idea", the only thing that ever positively affected the player #'s were a couple of times semi-famous (Or so I'm told) bloggers from youtube did a "Let's play this game..." but back when they did the game already had 700ish people on at peak, was a newish world and tons of stuff was going on. Like someone pointed out, the game is just filled with titans now who have nothing better to do than to grief people and no one wants to play a grief simulator.
(If the world size was dropped to 4 SG's 200 might be a decent # of people but with the massiveness of the world you could put that many in one SG and still not run across anyone.)
