I can tell you the vast majority of the active pop right now would never come back to play seriously after a wipe. We discussed it when it was the big idea on the forums months ago, and without exception, no one was interested in the slightest at the idea of doing classic over again.
Server needs a lot of help, and its only going to struggle harder and harder. GW2, new wow expac, now Darkfall announces unholy wars. I myself can't see playing here as the population continues to thin without any of the suggestions ever put into place. Stuff like YT, XP bonus moved to group only, fixes being applied timely (fungi tunic broken for a month on red until it had to be fixed for blue) and naked blue>red char transfers are the things the server is in dire need of. I love EQ, but so many people in this community are easily enticed by new games when they see the one they want to play being neglected.
