The game feels dead, but statistically it isn’t

Why does the game feel so dead?

You can find the answer to your question in a recent forum post here:

What is up with the Unturned player stats?

It is baffling as to why anyone would idle Unturned at this point. Personally, I suspect CS:GO and TF2’s player counts are significantly inflated by idling as well, and I think that might be part of why TF2 is lower priority for Valve. I don’t think idling is a high priority for Valve, and if I did contact Valve asking about this I wouldn’t expect them to make it a priority - Unturned is small potatoes for Steam - you have to scroll down pages and pages before finding it in the top sellers list.…

You can further read into the discussion if you’re interested, but as you can see (and what Neson has concluded), a large part of the player base is just people playing offline.

Probably a good thing you didn’t write an entire essay, since the issue was discussed fairly recently, but do feel free to talk about why the server list feels ‘clunky’ and/or how to improve it.
