Oh it is Perth. Good to see you again.
The player base has definitely shrunk quite a bit. But there are more realms on EC and Dwilight now. Atamara is pretty much the same. As for FEI I can't say much.
Some things are broken at the moment due to a major server issue that hit the game a couple weeks ago. 95% of the game is back up but the last 5% isn't - as you can tell wiki is a part of that 5%.
I still enjoy the game although quite burned out. You missed South Island which was one of my best BM experience
Anyway, good to see you again and if you plan to play again, I recommend EC.
