The problem with what you said is that people most likely won't come back in one huge wave. What then happens is a few people return at a time, see no one to PVP or exp with and just a vast ghost town and log. I really am skeptical of anything short of a wipe bringing a big enough wave of people at one time back where it can rebuild itself. Low pop is like a domino effect, the drop from sixty to twenty happened very quick but the uphill climb from twenty to hundred is almost impossible.

I don't want a wipe because of loots or these people won these people lost blah blah I want it because I see no other way to generate the interest in this server that will allow it to ever climb out of that hole. Kunark will be the same way. A dozen or so people return, see almost no one to group with, no options at the end game, no meaningful PVP, and log out. Re-release this server with all the changes that have been made with either kunark at launch or one month of classic max. Police the boards after that, create a server honor code like on 69 where people allow LnS, keep certain unnamed GMs as far as way as possible from this server and take a much less active role in policing raid PVP. Finally, set resists at least on MR spells to the way they actually were in classic. Profit with high pop and lots of fun.
