    Hello all!

    As the title says, where is everybody nowadays? I used to play Mapleroyals quite often back around 2017-2018 and remember the towns in Victoria island, Henesys specifically, were full of people! But nowadays, every now and then when I log in to check up on things I notice it's a complete ghost town. On top of this, PQs are also usually empty. This is despite the population of players online staying relatively consistent since that time. So where is everybody now? Is the population counter accurate? Are people more spread out? Why is that compared to the past? I get that a lot of mains are probably beyond the typical levels for PQs now, but even then I would expect some Hene-hoeing to still exist.

    Where though? Henesys was always the traditional go-to spot back in the day, but there's hardly anyone there now.

    Guilds & Alliances have designated AFK spots. Most use a channel in FM

    This was something that existed in the past as well, do you mean that it's more common now? Why would that be?

    Henehoes shifted to FM

    Low-level PQs have lesser sightings of players cause it's easy to reach level 50 or higher within a few days
    Most players (at higher levels) would be at training spots
