1. This game has a high learning curve in my opinion. Yes, you might say that it's just a matter of clicking, but the combat system is easy to learn, hard to master. It turns new players off because they kind of get wrecked on all of the servers they go on, especially Official_NA_1 where you have to wait 5 minutes to respawn.
2. No advertisement. I found this game in November 2012 in the related videos for a Prince of Macedon Total War commentary. I had NEVER seen this game before that. Kind of says something. People need to learn about this game.
3. Players that have played forever are getting bored. We haven't had a single update since the sailor one, which had so much potential. THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD BE PUT IN THROUGH AN UPDATE. More units, ships with cannons, better skins, new maps, more factions (Sweden, Ottomans, Spain, USA).

I really don't think the price has anything to do with it. It only costs like $10. Someone who has a $3000 gaming PC isn't going to shirk from buying this DLC because of its price.

Again this game cannot have moving ships with cannons due to the engine. There's no way to nail the cannon down to the ship, you'd sail your ship away and just leave your cannon floating in the air behind you.

What if instead of moving the boat and leaving behind the cannon... we move everything other than the boat and cannon and let them stay where they are! :o

In theory we could do huge player numbers far over 500 players per server...  As such we will surely keep our promise to deliver you the 500 players per server.

We will probably go (far) over it, but that's for later.

It is not just the price of the DLC, but the fact that anyone browsing it would see the year of Warbands release and just assume nobody is still playing it.

This right here, at least 80% of comments on my older videos when people stumble across them are "Do people still play this? I want to get involved but not if it is dead"

Robbaz is my favourite. Replace Pewdiepie with him and the world will be saved!
I love him. Actually that AngryJoe guy did a review of NW. He said he loved it.

Saying that the game is dying is an overstatement I mean it started dying a long time ago but we are more in a stalemate now where no one joins the community and no one leaves and if someone actually leaves there is like 1 new person to replace him/her, though those that leave the community usually comes back rather quickly.

But what the reasons for this game not growing is things that have been mentioned before Warband is old, the lack of updates and the price.

Regiments are the community so you are technically saying the community is killing the community.

I see that as a completely fair point.
