It's not rocket science here. There were numerous bugs upon launch. Those who may have stayed were turned off by them, aka first impression, and didn't come back. Those who did try to return later, or new people who started late, did so when the pop had already plummeted and found the solo grind in a lifeless world to be boring and too much.

So, now that some things are fixed, the magic solution is to boost exp, get new people on the server, and because of the greatly improved environment, even though the content is plainly stale, the new population will definitely stick around and restore glory to our once barren server?
You do know this game is 13 years old and theres no active marketing campaign for this server dont you? No posters in the mall. No cardboard high elf cut outs with big boobs greeting you as you enter the video game store. No ads on the sides of your favorite mmo websites...
Certainly you realize that the vast majority of the people this box will see are already here (and gone).
I'm still not against some bonuses to help the new guys, but you are almost certainly on hard drugs if for a second you seriously think exp is the answer for a server with hundreds of inactive players who have farmed out classic and have banks lined with manastones and rubicite breastplates.

What is your fucking angle?
If new guys join the server, they will just despise you as much as everyone else, and join your opposition in stomping on you. Or are you relying on all your planar and legacy to beat up the new guys and provide you with some false sense of accomplishment when you can't dethrone the current champs.
