biggest issue beyond EXP, which is the current hugest barrier to new players on a barren server, is the lack of competition at the top due to the nihilum zerg. more content will not fix this. it's funny tho, the zerg isn't just bad for the rest of the pop, it's bad for nihilum as well because it leads to such quick burnout amongst it's members who get geared up quickly and realize now there's nothing left to do.

if there was some sort of fix to EXP whether it be a temporary bonus, a grouping bonus, hot zones, whatever it may be, that would be a good first step as it would provide a larger recruiting grounds for the end game, thereby creating more competition.

tl;dr: exp remains the biggest issue on this server
