Here are the reasons it's dying:
-Aside from role-playing there is nothing to do. Take a lo at everyone when you go online closely. If you look, at least half of everyone is in a kingdom. So guess what will happen when 2k2 will come out? You will have almost no one on 2k1. In fact, I think there will be more on Andor or Providence.
-Empty promises like Valder said. Janurary 22nd, 2002 Birdbird promises us a 64 level desert within 2 weeks. *cough* *cough*
SK alwaus says "Hey guess what staff of light coming out soon!", which was on Feburary 22nd *cough* *cough*
-I think people are getting some brains and have realized that working hourlessly for hats and gralats means nothing in the end because you can't do anything with them. So what is the point of going online to work? I mean, that's all what 2k1 is about...
So in conclusion
EVERYONE COME ROLE-PLAY ON 2K1 (before 2k2 arrives
)
