Bottom post of the previous page:

I've said this at least 15 times, including when Sibyl was the server that was "dead." It's the same reason why no one wants to sign on as the only security officer, basically:

- There is no incentive for anyone to join Artyom -- or Basil -- because rounds where you are the only player are boring. Even if you roll antag there is only so much of turning the station into your personal autism death trap that you can take before you get bored, and fuck off, and then someone else has to be the only player.
- The only way there will be an incentive for people to join Artyom or Basil is if there is a critical mass of players at once. This will never happen unless something drastic happens to make people switch servers en masse -- which they do when servers crash, for instance -- or if enough people join Artyom, one by one.
- There is no incentive for anyone to join Artyom or Basil because rounds where you are the only player are boring.
- Cycle repeats.

artyom died because the overall population of the servers died.

When artyom (and before that, basil) had players, we also peaked sybil at 75-90 players most days. Now it barely reaches 60.

The overall population has dropped for some reason.

Question as been more or less answered, I guess it's a matter of time. I'm locking this thread.
