That's a kind of wierd defination of dead IMO.
Firstly, GRAW2 still has official support. So by your own criteria, it is not dead.
The other point about knowing every other player online, someone quoted 250+ players a night earlier in the thread, if you know all them you make me feel like norman no mates.
I don't mean to come across argumentative, I'm just not buying this "dead" business at all.
If this website was getting a few hundred hits every day instead of the many thousand it gets every day, I might be more inclined to agree, fact is, we are as busy as ever therefore interest remains high, and if anyone is looking for an online server to play against 20 odd strangers (or even people they know ), they can do that too.
Dead? Nah. On life support, maybe
dead or close to dead
