I've been doing my part, i lead a party last night for the festival lvl 42 and under, and i met with another group that was doing 53 and under.
The problem is normal players rarely compete, they are never even interested, took me a long time to get a party going and 50% of the pople had never done the festival before. It's a lot of fun, this is for dawn btw.
it doesn't matter though... UR gave their castle to their buff clan... they are going to ninja dusk imo... hope thor went dawn so they can't go to catas... and own lilith for 2 weeks... my alts signed up for dusk... :(
