The only way to make it active again is to start going there. I've been dropping in at least one game day per RL day lately and have managed to run into a few folks here and there, as well as filling up on sparkly in record time :)
There's sparkly route now. Why bother with the hassle of extreme competitive group mining when you can rake in the chunks much faster by running from house to house?
You've been flanked:
a) there are resource routes.
b) the cliqueyness was cloying, and antisocial to outsiders.
Barriers to entry mean vulnerability to mind and marketshare.
Also, some subtle changes in the game have made it so that even in a full and bustling A. Bliss working in perfect harmony you would earn less currants over time than you would by just nibbling and milking on random streets.
You leave my Glitch-nudity out of this *sobs* What I really miss about Bliss is the resources it saved, with people radiating and whatnot and the bonuses from group mining, it was cheaper to mine together than to quaff dozens of Earthshakers for a fraction of the spark.
