To reiterate :
Spread the news. Post on old EQ boards. Tweet it. Facebook it. Post on live eq boards and progression server boards. Tell your friends. Tell Granma, she might surprise you. Get drunk and tell people about it in long obnoxious conversations. Yell it when you have sex. Draw it on the sidewalk. Shave it into your bodily hair. Call Geraldo Rivera, god knows he needs something to talk about. Skywrite it. Whizz it in the snow. Explain it to puzzled foreigners who are just trying to find the subway. Dress up like a halfling and ride the butt luge down the PCH on a sunny day. Yknow...get the word out.

The only way it could work is to have a time when a whole horde of people all start new characters at the same time. Spread the word about that, have people lined up waiting for the doors to open (metaphorically speaking), then suddenly let them all in at the same time. THEN it could work. How do you do that? I know people have suggested a server reset or a opening a new blue server and I suppose those would work but I'm sure we can all see the problems with both of those ideas. The only thing I can think of which avoids those rather obvious problems but creates the same effect would be something I suggested before and nobody even really was willing to discuss it. Have a remort month. Announce a certain period of time during which characters can be dropped to level 1 in exchange for some kind of reward. Like, say, the month of august. Then lock any newly created characters from progressing beyond level 1 untill the launch of the remort month. Ok, build it up, spread the word. This august everyone who wants to remort can do it! Get new people lined up and waiting as well. Then do it. BAM, on the 1st of August we have a whole crowd of level 1 characters all going up through the levels again at the same time. | |||

I think the best way to bring back server population is get rid of most the drama. I think that neither rotation or raid tokens. If rotation go something like if you can clear PoS you get Inny, CT, Trak, and VS. If you have 40+ VP Keys and can kill Gore you get VP rotation. All the other dragons and what not are FTE. If you up on rotation mob you have 4 to 6 hours to kill then become FTE. Which this means you would have to get a kill on Gore with FTE. I think the rotation would be best. If not that go tokens by giving out 3 raid tokens a week. Where a raid guild get 3 tokens to turn in to get a raid mob to spawn. Either way would kill the drama and people would get the pixels they want while playing casual. Cause people quit do to can never compete for end game targets and get sick of hearing all the drama that comes along with end game targets.
P.S. Velious will help bring back some more people also. | ||

Considering this server is such a low pop server (anything under 1k) that high end guilds should have a max number of players. as is server pop from what I've seen has been around 240-380 max. With one guild nearly controlling end game content and not everyone wanting to join this one guild it should be split up. I hate to say it but with a server that has such a limp population no guild should have half of the server pop in it, not a third, nor a quarter.
