Is there anybody out there?

I just made some toons on Sonoma. I am playing for nostalgia as a player that started in '98. I think I have come across one locked house in the game and no live players. All lots open. There was one bot advertising selling gold I saw a couple times. Is this server absolutely barren?
The only reason I didn't join Atlantic is I am on the West coast.

Even though you might not see many players if you only found one house that’s not normal, at least I don’t think it is.  Might try calling out in general chat.  Most major events require at least three or four players working together even if they don’t really know one another.

I'm not sure where you are running around if you only see one locked house.
There are active players on Sonoma, but you won't see them bank sit that often.

sounds like you are probably in the Help channel
you might want to call out in general chat
there are people who would be willing to help
welcome back

Do you have Discord?   If not get it, you can reach out here in the Sonoma Public Discord.  https://community.stratics.com/threads/sonomas-discord-link.409147/ .  You can also request help from the Peoples Army of Sonoma (PAS).  You will have to register and confirm your email to post there, but you can read thru most of the general discussion there.
