Yeah, its pretty hard tryin to change things lol we've seen a couple of remarkable efforts take place over the years and they never seem to work out. At best, we get a surge for a few months and then it dies out. There are a lot of contributing factors but I think its also just the nature of EQ.
I was kicking around a idea for a weekly guild-neutral pvpish event that could also serve as a prime time for new players to join and exp but that wont be for another couple of months if the server is even still goin by then.
I agree though, it's up to the community. With a little effort and cooperation we could take one day a week to have fun and develop advertising videos to draw more players in. I'd say our biggest obstacle for new recruits is telling them the truth about what to expect. We need to start lying to them to at least get them invested to the point where they don't feel good about leaving.
