The problem is most of the themes don't really work all that well with less than 20 active players, and we're lucky to pull five atm.

But as an advocate of the game, it is my intent to promote it for as long as willpower & feasibility permit. I do feel all-the-more responsible to see that it doesn't just go extinct online~

But in that, I would like to extrapolate that the presence of more diverse, niche communities dedicated to retrogaming, the society for creative anachronism, wildlife rehabilitation, etc... -shouldn't rule out the possibility of player influx (although how many trickle in from that first, relevant, aforementioned example can only speculated), yet I'll admit the numbers won't quite be what they were... but maybe annually, they can be~
And I think the ROC suffered with Jacques' death, but smaller websites have been mostly abandoned for Facebook, Reddit, etc...
Or maybe I'm just a displaced cheerleader trying to back a horse that's content to retire? Can I speak to your manager? :P
