Personally I just want one highly populated server to be able to play on, rather than the hit and miss we currently have with both Origins and Uthgard. A few simple fixes will bring the population to your doors, and have some neutrals such as myself willing to give Uthgard another chance.

- Shrouded Isles must be implemented. All the classes included as well. There should be no ifs and buts about this, it's the best expansion this game ever had and rightfully should be in the game. It adds the necessary PvE to keep the game from getting stale and would add in classes like the Necromancer and Bonedancer, both of which are highly popular classes. A major reason I and my friends didn't hang around on Uthgard was because of the lack of SI. True Classic, i.e. DAoC at it's finest included SI.

- The XP rate. This old nutshell. The veterans here will turn around and say it forces people to be committed. Those of us who want to just try out Uthgard are immediately put off by the archaic rate of gaining XP. Where is the fun in doing what was you did 11+ years ago. The XP rate was shambolic and was continually made harder rather than easier. I know your trying to add in a grouping mentality but with the xp as slow as it was it caused other numerous server problems.. such as the lack of people in RvR. Up the rate so that it won't take a month to get to 50 but a decent week. Make it so solo leveling is viable. You want a healthy population, the cater to the needs to of both the hardcore and the casual. More people will stick around and come to the server if they know that it won't take an eon to get to the max level.

- Don't wipe. I don't see what any of this solves, I'm not a Uthgard Vet and stand to gain the most from a wipe, but I don't see the point, the issues will still exist.

- Work on Implemented Old RAs, this is the biggest catch you need to have. When I sought to try out Uthgard over 3 years ago now, I tried it because you were stating that Old RAs were to be introduced 'soon'. Ironically, even to this day they still haven't made it onto the server, and again, the server has suffered for it. If I wanted to play an OF server will NF RAs, I would go to Eden. Add them in, it'll add a nostalgic feeling and reduce the RR gap that people use as a clutch.

Essentially, I come across as saying 'copy what Origins did', and truthfully you should. They have a good product over there that is only let down by the god awful lag. YOU HAVE THE ONE THING THEY DON'T , you have a solid server, capable of handling big number. You have the power to take Origins best ideas, implement them on Uthgard and then offer a better service. I, and others would certainly flock to Uthgard if you were able to offer what Origins does, but on a more stable format. Use your brains, this is a business essentially, someone has come out with a new invention, yet you still hold the one thing they desire, you take the best parts of their invention and use it to improve your own. You hold the key to a successful server. Implement SI, OF RA's and better XP and watch the masses flock to Uthgard.

Continue with a wipe and don't change anything? Expect an empty server, which is what no one wants.

I want to know asap if i must turn the page and don't waste a single bit of my life in this thing. Please, don't wait 3-6-9 months to notify us that we're fecked up for (what you think is) the good of the server. Period.
