The server has been in a state of almost death for 8 months, until it is shut down there will always be a few players. There have been more useful updates in the last 3 months than in the last 6 so that is a good thing. However do not confuse updates with life bringing magic, the things that drive players away are still in place in the game, and there has been no indication that they will change anytime soon. Couple that with the more frequent negative remarks from certain Dev's and you can see even they are getting fed up with things.
We don't see it but there is work going on, and lots of it. Just skim through the 3d section and you will see how far they've come with it, and most of it has stuff still being worked on daily. Good Suggestions are being implemented (crafted containers, visible space remaining). If you really want to help, hash out a good suggestion on how the game might improve. Something more than *We need more quests.* I can't promise the dev's will listen, but a well thought out suggestion that more than a handful of people can agree on tends to get their attention.
