So when I was browsing through the comment section of some Spiral Knights soundtracks/reviews and found a bit of people saying that this game is dead, but, everytime I log in I see a lot of people online, but maybe that's not enough to classify the game as alive. Is it really true that this game is dying, and if so, why?
Is it true that this game is dying?

for years
I've been reading threads like this since 2011, which is the year that the game launched. Back then I thought, "Maybe the game is dying, but I'm going to enjoy it while I can, until I can't." And I'm glad that I ignored that gloom, because since then the game has brought me thousands of hours of pleasure.
My advice is to let the developers worry about the health of the game. Just play the game. Probably you will tire of it before it dies anyway. Then move on to other games, come back if there's new content, take another break, etc.

Slowly, but surely
Aye, the game is not dead, but it has stagnated severely over the past years. Though the community is not huge, it is quite friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, new big guilds are almost impossible to be formed, so knights must rely on old survived giant guilds.

well
The game's "dying" in the sense that there have been no major content updates in like forever (starlight cradle doesn't exactly count) but it's still pretty fun to play so like
The game is very slowly dying. After a few years from now we wouldn't be able to find a lot of people we find online at the moment. This is mainly due to the lack of content. Usually end-game players go for PvP when they get bored, but the current meta just makes the game annoying. If GH would go for some new content rather than making new costumes and accessories we would have a much more active playerbase. There was a suggestion for adding a new PvP mode, it's more like bringing it back rather than making it actually, so it shouldn't be that hard. After playing only this game for about 3 years now having a total of about 3k+ hours of playtime I'm starting to get bored and I went to other games. I still play the game but only like a few LD matches or a couple FSC runs per 1-3 days.
