I have exams in a week.
In america, most school's are finishing up their 1st semester, which means exams, tests and picky grading.

And in case you haven't noticed, games such as Assassin's Creed 2, MW2, Borderlands, and other games are all the rage. JKA is a dying game, it has been for about 2 years now. Even I hardly play it anymore :\

For me, it's having cruddy internet. I can't stay connected for more than five minutes. But holidays are over, so more people busy with academics and such.

This is quoted from the following topic, and very much answers your question. I find myself saying the same thing every year, responding to the same posts every year.

From mid way through February every year, server activity nose dives. In March, April, and May server activity stays fairly low. It’s not until mid way through May that we start pulling in the numbers. July and August are always our busiest months of the year. Unfortunately I don’t know the exact reasons for this, but it’s not un-common to see people leaving at this time of the year. So please don’t start panicking, KR isn’t going anywhere- at least for now I assure you- it’s all about putting it in perspective.

Dying.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Sure, putting it on steam extended its life maybe a year or 2 but i do agree that it is a dying game....

And yet we're all still here, playing the same game and commenting on it, even devoting ourselves to it by being in a clan.

It's old and not as popular as it once was, but save the tombstone engraving for later.

lol school is what has dominated my inactivity, paired with new games, and well...the topic of this subject!
The fact that the server kept on becoming more desolated as I played made me check the server less often until I stopped getting on at all, a vicious cycle, but also a regular one, lol

does this mean you can alt-tab within JKA now for the steam layout?!?
