I cannot see where is the relationship between the time and between the count of players , I can give you an example of other RSPS (IkovPS) , This RSPS has been online for less than 1 year , Today there are 2.5k players online everyday! ( You can check yourself by visiting its forum , cannot give any link because advertising isn't allowed here).
Three months ago I've seen it on the sponsored servers list in RuneLocus with a little count of players , Today I've been attracted and addicted to this RSPS because its count of players.
Honestly I blame Thomy for killing Emps , He isn't working well to advertise Emps , He just working on updates that will not help Emps to live , He is profiting from emps buy its donation , Isn't he supposed to advertise his rsps ? I think this is his job , This isn't our job to do.
Solution:
Here you go Thomy , This is the best way to survive your RSPS Before dying 
The best way to survive Emps from dying is , To add it to the sponsored servers list in RuneLocus,MoparScape,RuneServer... etc.
besides , Its gladly to see GTL Vote System.
Almost didn't see this post. Thanks for your opinion, but I disagree on some things. I would question myself, if the server you mentioned, really has 2.5k people online. Please bear in mind that manipulating a number shown on the website isn't the most difficult thing to do. I'm impressed that it has such a large impact on a person's opinion. By seeing that, I might just add 500 players to our player counter. If that actually changes people's mood positively... wow.
Moreover, it's really frustrating when you bring in an suggestion that is just utter nonsense. No offense, but the mere thing you suggest is buying a sponsored spot on a toplist? Yeah well, what about finding a sponsored spot on a toplist that is actually for sale?
Also, you talk about it being my job to advertise the server? You're completely right there, nobody has ever said something else? I also don't remember that I never advertised the server? The only thing we stopped doing were toplists. Emps never had them and never will get them again.
I really appreciate criticism, but only if it actually has some value. And especially if you want to blame me for something...
Well , Thank you for this reply Thomy , Let me explain for you something that very important to mention sir ,
Players will have been attracted to your server when it gets popular ,
famous , simple , and easy to play.
Personally I really feel better when i communicate with others in forum , ing , as much as there more players , The server would be nicer and easy to communicate.
Thomy , Lets talk downrightly , Has Emps-World reached over than 250 player ? NO! , So when I go to exchange especially when I see that little count of players I immediately close the client and go to another thing to do , So the main point we have to do to solve this issue is to work
HARD on advertising Emps as much as possible , working on updates while there are no players is useless ,
So what things can make your server popular expect for advertising ? Of course im suggesting to advertise legally ( sponsored servers list ) , Indeed you can notice that the most of these servers that have been listed on sponsored servers list are known as an excellent servers , confirming that by checking out their forums to see how many players are online.
I can also highly confirm you that RuneServer/MoparScape voting list are never being cheated on.(I've already checked that ).
Okay , Let me ask you something else , How has Ikov been famous within less than 1 year ? , By the way I'm a player of this private server , and always there are 1.5k+ players online. The answer would be that their advertisement job has achieved this massive success.
Edit:
No guys , I still prefer Emps than any other rsps but I'm afraid of being reason of getting emps dying , so I thought I should do , suggest , talk my opinion about this issue.
Forgive me for anything I've exaggerated.
