Do any of you remember the time, when there was a cap of 110 people on at the same time, and you sometimes you had to try to connect for 15 minutes to get a slot?
CF seems to be a better game now, so I wonder why there is less players.

A few things I think might be part of the reason:

1. You have to spend too much time practicing with too many classes (In contrast to conjurers, who have to spend almost none, and still seem to beat the living shit out of most people)
2. It is too hard to be a newbie, you have to live with being a punching bag for too long. Off course there should be things you only learn as an experienced player, but shield, aura, barrier rods and stuff like it, just gives the already better players an even bigger advantage.
