where is everyone?

[ylamona]

I used to play civ3 a lot on the 'net, and on the servers provided by activision. That was about 3 months ago. I went back there today and saw only 2 people the entire time I was on(for about 6 hours) and got to play with neither of the 2. Where is everyone? mabye more people should start coming on, I will be on almost regularly from this point forward, since activision is going to make another patch. I usually play on games.igateway.net or california12.activision.com but I am willing to play on any other server if desired.
PS i don't like the POEM(play over e-mail) games so that's out of the question..
