No..in comparison to what used to be around 2.7-5k+ people, it is quite dead to see anything lower than 1k, especially when most of those about 1k players aren't even running content beyond their statics...it is quite dead, because there's not enough additional people for "new players" or "returning from x amount of break" to realistically get back into content unless they already have contacts since a lot of people who shout only want up to date players.
So is it absolutely dead? Nope, it is pretty much dead though, numbers are at the point they did the last round of mergers.
