I've been playing this game for a few days and only recently checked the forums to see the last posts ranging from 2012-2013. during my experience of this game I have only come across one player, the rest is only abandoned and decayed villages which is sad to see in a game this cool.
I really hope this game is still going :)

Maybe you're looking at archived threads? At the bottom of the forum are threads that pertained solely to old worlds. You can no longer post in these threads but you can review them for whatever reasons you may have.

At worst the Wizards' Tower hasn't had a new post in about a day.
As for bumping into people, it's very common to miss people because they're offline or simply not venturing out into your part of the world. The map is huge and most people have their own little burrows that they stick to. If you're aiming to connect with others it's usually easiest to post in the Apples for Oranges subforum for trade or the Dwarves & Thieves subforum to band together to make a village or something.
Happy travels!
