As one of the most controversial players on monolith, here is my surprising opinion:
Although I do completely agree that there is a lack of new content that has led to burnout and declined player count, I believe that even with new content the amount will only increase by a little.
In regards to staff, the staff that tend to be the most active are actually quite lenient and respectable- I should know. So I do not necessarily think that staff play a major role in decline player count, however, I do feel that maybe they should realize that we they ban someone they are taking away from everyone else's experience.
**MY MAIN POINT** The true factor that has lead to the substantial player decline is an irreversible factor- the server's staff history. It was very unfortunate that in the golden ages of monolith, there tended to be horrible staff(most of which are no longer staff)- these staff made the active and daily players begin to hate the server. Like as many of you know- there is a whole community of hundreds of ex-monolith people - like I feel like it is crazy how monolith has not acknowledged that it is weird that there is a whole community of people that hate them. No other server has anything nearly as similar, just Monolith. This reveals the problem- that there is something especially bad about monolith. And in my opinion, I believe it was the past staff that completely screwed the server.
