The problem with your timeframe is you can progress through Classic--->Kunark--->Planes (minus CT)--->intro velly raids in two months from scratch with a modest raid schedule.
That's assuming no PVP.
If your outlook is to try to keep a playerbase with low attrition you'll need to keep that pace. Otherwise you'll be filling the hole with three new members for each two you lose.
If I'm not mistaken (and I haven't played here since the new year) this is basically what Rodarin was trying to do? It can't really happen bc nobody wants to do it.
Find 12-18 for classic, 18-24 for Kunark, 24-30 for revamped planes (innoruuk and to abbreviate planar clears). Make sure everyone has 90% RA on 3 nights a week for 4-5 hours. Set classes, no main switches, it could be fun, no drug abuse.
It'll never be created from this pool though, gotta dig em up from older EQ playerbase from other communities. Make sure everyone is from the same timezone. Be a great influential, patient and charismatic guild leader.
Good luck.
