There was once a time when there were 70 people online. . .

A) The healing spell is and was overpowered, players were and are virtually immortal. Reaching level 25 should be an accomplishment, not something you do on a daily basis.

B) Current active wizards have no access to the prices of most items, so price levels are currently not in line with supply and demand.

C) Giving away items makes it too easy for old players to level at low levels. As stated in A. It should be a challenge to level.

D) Not all players are located in the US. There are many European players and 7 and 8 year olds that play. 1am for you may be 9 am for them.

There aren't many players around as games like this aren't very popular. Because:

1) It isn't 3D with flashy graphics
2) Gameplay is a bit more complex than just mousing around
3) There are many bugs that make gameplay somewhat cumbersome. Specially for new players who are unaware of some of them.

We don't expect 2-300 players (if the server could even handle it)
