How active are the players in Xsyon?

Hey guys,

So I was thinking of buying the game -- I remember way back, I downloaded the game when it was free and really enjoyed the atmosphere and hardcore nature of the sandbox elements -- and I was just wondering what the player base was like now. I know it's not the most popular game, but I remember the world being fairly populated when I played back in the day. What are the players like? Is there anyone even still playing? I imagine with this type of game there are bound to be groups of dedicated fans, but is it enough to warrant the £30 price tag?

Thanks for any responses,
Liam
