0 users were active in the last 15 minutes
That is right...0, zero...nada....
This is worse than when Cantr is down, because there are still people who are active...they just can't get in...*sigh*

Meh, the display is wrong at least once a day due to some reset or something.

I really, really, really hope that was the case here. It was like this for a little while...and then jumped up to 75 users...so *fingers crossed*

It seems to me it stays around the seventies most of the time.

The peak is over 120 as best.

I normally see it in the nineties. But yet, it's always at those times when my chars' towns are deathly quiet.

I know! I am sitting there looking at that and am like "Really...all these people and not one of my char's have lit up?

It severely depresses me when it's been many hours since I last saw my charries light up. The fact is made worse when I see people on the forum whom I KNOW have chars in my chars' towns.
Edit: Now there are only forty-two.

Haha, yes...that would make it worse...
But, this is Cantr...you have slow periods...and then times where you cannot find enough time to play all your chars. Fall/winter is approaching here, meaning more people indoors...playing!

There's a bug in it when it shows 0 for a period of time (late evening here).
Because if there really was no one else online, it should still show 1 because of you!
It's been that way for well over a year. Every night, 0 users even though there are other people conversing with mine.

Where is "here"? I'd like to know when it does this where I live so I don't have to freak out if/when I see it.

Just don't freak out when you see it.

There's unlikely to be another explanation.

Ahh, I had thought of that but I figured active meant active as in actually doing something with the characters (moving, talking, doing something active). If active means active connection to the game, then yeah, it certainly does make more sense.

Lucky you! That was the first time I had actually noticed it, and corresponded right with a time where there was nothing happening at all with ANY of my characters, so that added to the whole thought process.

I disagree, freak out...get completely freaked out and then go recruit your neighbors, your town...even your dog to start playing Cantr!

Precisely!
The only problem is that my neighbours spend all their time outside or with their horse or swimming or outside. My other neighbour is going to be a sports major, and he's also in fifth grade.... The only people in town I regularly have contact with are my classmates; one of them would join except that she doesn't have access to a computer everyday and she's the type to freak out if she misses anything (this I know from her Facebook...) and to get too emotionally attached to her characters.
You don't want my dog playing....trust me. I don't want my dog playing. She'd pee all over the keyboard.

So I made a character
vaguely based on my dog (minus the peeing). Does that count?
