Suggestions to increase population

[Firstaidkit]

These are merely suggestions so feel free to criticism on it if you like. I am doing this since the population is the worst in years and I have quit for 1,5 year or something and barely anything new was added except for dual spec and some bug fixes, GJ on that btw ;). I know the game is old and all but really we could do something. Easier said then done of course =P.

1. Crossfaction Battlegrounds: I feel that this is really necessary to make the population grow again, I have seen it suggested a ton of times and I know you don't have the script for this ready but it would be worth the effort to script this if possible. I am pretty sure that a lot of people would want this on the server. Or maybe only put crossfaction battlegrounds during the times that the queus are dead.
2. Remove AV during the week and only put it on the weekends since I think it will not pop with this kind of population at the time it's even hard to get a normal BG started.
3. Add more Legendary weapons for example the wands look awful and offhands are limited as well while other classes got tons of weapon choice we clothies got left out with ugly weapons that's not even worth spending my 150 fragments on. The selection of main hands and staves are oke but already bought those.
4. Maybe we could add some legendary High Warlord / Grand Marshal gearset that we can mog on our 4 - 5 pieces? Or do you guys think that would be too custom? Only available to High Warlord / Grand Marshal people so you basically force people to start playing BG's with a purpose.
5. Raise the High Warlord / Grand Marshal requirements to at least 30k or more?
5. Make all the slow ground and flying mounts faster so we have a bigger mount selection. (pssst.. add AQ mount ;))
6. New PvE instance with weapon fragments drop.

That is all I wanted to suggest for now.

Welcome back FAK :)
I did a quite similar thread towards some Suggestion which were made in the past (link incase you want to read https://www.smolderforge.com/forums/9307-ideas but stop at Henhouse reply other stuff is just complete offtopic)

to your Points ( I'll just skip some of them and post to the ones which bother me the most)

1. Let me Quote Henhouse here : It's not being prioritized, but the version Xios mentioned is what we want, not entirely cross-faction, but a mixture of both. It's pretty complicated to do that, however, which is why it hasn't happened.

2. Could be work nowadays AV rarely Pops

3. Iirc Awoth wanted to share lots of possible new models for future legendary weapons

6. Yes like I suggested increase the 60% Mounts to 100%. There are still unused Mounts which aren't implented yet for example Zhevra or Arctic wolf.

Thanks for the link and tbh I like the idea of having both normal BG's and crossfaction BG's if their is enough horde / alliance. Would be nice if you guys find a way to implement this :)

Would also be cool if you could make the Brewfest mounts (Swift Brewfest Ram & Great Brewfest Kodo) obtainable in a way maybe with some holiday event or something a-like?

2. Could be work nowadays AV rarely Pops

I think we still have at least one AV almost everyday and that's why everyone cries about lags during AV ;D

i would say remove AV for ever it just make the server lag and no one likes it.

[Samrogue]

and no one needs it i belive.

I need AV :O It's just one hour per day, why people even cries about that so much?!

It's just my expirience and if I try to play some AV it just doesn't open :)

Well tbh yday AV did pop, I just thought it was a dead hour since the population seems kinda low atm. That's why I mentioned it, but as long as it pops then its fine with me or maybe it just was coincidence.
