The general activeness of this game has really fallen since the beta.
Right now, I stand in my room, and I think of the battles that I go into today having been a beta player myself and think about all of the dry games I've had recently. Some matches you have your teams, maybe a team from Outerheaven or maybe a team from Ancient Exiles or maybe even Nyan Chan come and do what we call "Pub stomping" but it just isn't like what it used to be.
Members, good members that were apart of older corps like SverTrueBloods(STB) or L.O.T.I.S. or even the Imperfects. Members that gave a presence across the Dust universe and strikes fear into us as players, not the type of fear that you would say "Oh man, I'm scared of them" but the kind that your weren't afraid to die on the battlefield but if you were to notice any of STB, PFBH, or the Imperfect members walk over the horizon of the battlefield, you would spot them and you would say, "It is them" before biting the dust.
I feel those days are over. Great members are disappearing and the problem that I see as being mostly an observer of the battlefield is that no one is really replacing them. It is as though they can't be replaced. I've seen good tankers like lurchasaurus or good leaders like Quick Gloves (a real leader of the battlefield he was indeed) or even Free Healing. Or good forgers like Senator Snipe and so many other good players and had the honor of fighting with on the battlefield. These members left a real presence or mark on the battliefield. You even have generally cool players like Mortedearmor(sorry if I got name misspelled there) and spartanbiker, and my dude Pud Striker, and even a player that I've actually had the liberty to see become quite a monster soldier on the battlefield, saxomish.
This game has a lot of cool, skilled, and great players, but as they disappear by the number this game somehow fades and from what I'm seeing now, it doesn't seem to be getting better. Battles just seem to be dry to me, lacking no substance. The enemies of old the presence certain people made even though in some cases they were just money hoggers and were greedy like Kain Spero (no harm intended bruh) or was having secret money affairs and using other people's accounts or just doing what we call plain wicked under the covers, I feel there needs to be a change.
I'm not the best players, even after being a beta player and having observed the battlefield for as long as I have. I'm just wee little hermit crab with a heavy machine gun compared to a lot of skilled players, but I think we could bring this game back. Bring it back somehow to the same level of epicness we had in the beta. To bring back corps that are able to not just cause drama in the end but make a presence that when I enter that battlefield I would hold my gun, shaking uncontrollably as I had behind a worn piece of steal and say, "It's them! We are all going to die!" before turning the corner and be turned into a pile of dust from the bullets that come to me like a sea of pain, pain that I actually would like to feel again.
To feel a sense of fear... To feel a sense of disappear like going up against Almighty Status... To feel my death as I fall to the ground and bleed as I depend on someone, anyone to come and pick me up. I watch the miles decrease as my ally draws near to save me, but deep down, deep down inside, I know very well that he will not make it become the tryants are here and when the come, they come to destroy every and all...
All of this before turning gray and vanishing away into the wind and mingling with the trillions of other dead soldiers on the battlefield....
....only to come back again. Thank you.
Don't come near me or I will try to defend myself.

Also, you cannot compare Beta to now. Its a different game with mostly different players these days, and the old 'feared' players are either matched or gone. There are very few players that are truly next-level these days, so it is unfair to compare.
Plus, one thing was different then. We all had hope. All was lost and most players quit after The Rouge Wedding. Yes, we have hope now, but I doubt until whatever succeeds this game comes up that it will be seen again. PC back then was fun. We had a reason to fight, all that isk man. I just hope this new PC thats coming reignites the old vets.
Alright, I guess it was just me then on that, but you get were I was going though. It's just... different now. And you're so right on PC's being fun. :)
