Well if that is really the case... I just started a few days ago and am really enjoying it. If the number of people playing suddenly drops to only 4 or 5 people from usually never running far without several other homin dots on the compass... then I would ask what is the draw for the people that have been here the longest to be back at the beginning areas?
Is it to help out the new people? (I certainly have had plenty of great people helping me on my way so far) Is it revisiting because they have kind of 'explored themselves out'?
Whatever the reason, I would suggest that perhaps everyone get together via getting a thread started on it, or a blog roll somewhere and set some dates. Make some regular events happen that are character set, not dev set.
I know that for a long time my wife's 'kinship' on LOTRO was tapering off and there just weren't many people around at any given time on their home server. Several of them got together, started doing shoutouts in town, started a forum thread, did some recruiting as well actually, and after a few months they had a pretty booming community again for a long time.
Worth a shot anyway. Once I get leveld up more and learn more - I know I am all for helping out however I can.
Take care all,
