Stop drinking the "TMO's fault" kool-aid. TMO has already admitted their place in driving off a solid chunk of high-end players. Agreement reached, move along.
The valid points people are bringing to the table about the slip of population are:
1) summer slum
2) server instability
3) melee weapon skill "bug"
4) People are getting bored of Kunark
5) The snowballing slow exodus of players
Now, I don't think these issues will be fixed purely via "King Content".
1) The summer slum is something we're going to have to get used to until next fall/winter.
2) I doubt there is much the normal P99 player can do for the server instability other than report it.
3) The melee weapon skill "bug" requires statistical documentation and evidence digging to refute.
4) Velious will help here, but honestly people just need the drive to want to "complete" Kunark. Its honestly nice that TMO didn't contest Trak for BDA yesterday, and I know on the last Gore attempt BDA had, it was nice of TMO to allow BDA to regroup after Gore fell through the world. I'm not saying I like you guys, but on a few occasions, you guys have proven you can play with honor instead of training.
5) This will always happen in any game. WoW made cross-realm instances, we don't have that luxury. I'm open to ideas.
