>>22326047I think the Akukin vs Usaken rivalry was utterly the main engine keeping the server running and it basically seized up when Aqua stopped playing much. However, once the big Apex tourney arc is over, she very likely will get back around to it and have an Akukin meeting which will immediately pop like a dozen girls onto the server at once etc.
So probably within like a month once that + Elden Ring arc is over, MC would be a prime thing to start back up.
Another thing is IIRC they have not updated the server overall and still need to do that for the frog lights etc. Probably a number of them are waiting around for that. The Samson option would be reboot the entire Holo server and leave the current one as a relic museum to get everyone doing stuff again, but the current one has so much history into it now that seems doubtful it'll happen by the year.
