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.

Your suggesting things with a hidden agenda you don't want to bring in new or old players you want to transfer blue players to red so you can replenish Nihilum's very depleted ranks.
Which does nothing for wiki traffic which helps server revenue not at all!
Everyone who used to play here literally stated in thousands of threads this is why they left, and any new player's I talk to about server hear about resist coding here and say that's stupid!
Safe zones would be horrible for server no red player's want to be safe they want low lvl pvp to break up that boring grind they just don't want to get one shot backstabbed by a lvl 20 guy with an epic.
I'm suggesting things that will help Rogean gain revenue and the server gain population, your suggesting things that will help your guild.

I have seen you use the trak teeth thing far too much. Golem wands are just as powerful as trak teeth and they come off a level 35 mob and 12 can drop in a given day.
At most 5 trak teeth drop every 3 days. 5 kills in 3 days is not exactly game breaking. I personally would not have a problem with trak teeth being nerfed in PVP, however I would have a problem if they are nerfed and Golem Wands are not.

That's 10 player's that can be wiped out a week by clicking a button, and you don't see how something like that could grief player's off the box? That's roughly 450 player's that have died due to button click in the last 9 month's since you guys have had trak on steady rotation.
I srsly doubt you'd feel the same way if other guilds had access to Trak Teeth.
