sorry but the population is not decreasing because people improve a opensource project or not.
the population is decreasing because the whole scene became toxic.
every kid wants money for their work today, they want to get payed for every small shit bit.
the community does not care for quality. they prefer to go to a 1.1k populated server who crashs everyday and which is money making oriented with a damn bad quality, instead of joining a server where they offer nearly everything for free and where the admins knows how to fix bugs to keep a full server alive without crashes.
this community don't die because of the devs of Hercules or RAthena, it dies because of the stupid greedy admins who open one server after the other to make money and milk the people.
flame them, not Haru and the others.
