Great list. This has been going on since root nets in perma when roots would land for like 30% of the time since most people had around 110 MR unbuffed/shit MR coding - They just don't get it.
LOL Elderan same old lines. Maybe because of the early population, and all the people/crews that have quit - something you have no context of.

You want to make changes to bring back the OLD players.
I want to make changes to bring in NEW players.
Trying to appease old players to bring them back is fools gold. Most of these players at this point would never play long term no matter the changes. The players you are referring to have been going from pvp box to box for years and they are not the type of people who will hold onto one thing for a long time. Also at most you would bring in a very small amount of old players, 30-50 in my estimation and most wont last long. Adding something like variance would very well cause the sever to lose 20-30 people also. So your net changes are minimal.
Making changes to bring in NEW players is clearly the way to go. Group exp bonus, removal or hybird exp penalty, safe zones could easily add 100+ new players a night. Doing something radical like releasing Velious on RED 1-2 months before blue would be a HUGE boost in the population. Yes you would not keep all of the players once blue got Velious but you might keep 20% or so which would be worth it.
