Everyone seems to be caught up in the raiding aspect, when I think the real issue is that no one is around at the lower levels. It's hard to get new people to play when those new people have no one else to play with. Some come with friends, but a lot are just trying to relive the memories and group up at the lower tier.
Heck, when there was around 1k people peak the lower tier was really fun because you could get groups within 30 minutes between 10-30. Now I see almost no one on at all in that range.
So the question would then be, what would bring back the lower level people? Only non-classic things would really do. Global chats, faster XP, easier mobs, hotzones, etc have been mentioned, and I think it's a start. These were added in to later expansions for a reason, and that's because new people just stopped joining.
I don't know if those "non-classic" solutions will fly here, but hopefully something can be figured out before the server is reduced to 50 people at peak hours...
