(A bit late)

The game has definitely lost players over time as the hype degraded. Much like how it will likely gain a lot with the release of SotFS.

However, it's far from inactive once you get to higher Soul Memory tiers. I'm at about 3 million SM on NG and I can easily find a lot of players through the Bell Keepers covenant. The covenant also works at pretty much any SM, so I'd highly reccomend it if you want to engage in PvP.
