I think the main problem which this server has is the number of players who give up so soon and don't see the good things that DR has.
In order to help about it, here is my suggestion.
The Crossing Class Factory would be the name of a guild that focus on recruiting every newcomer for leveling fast. With a guild like this and the following actions server could have more players:
* Suggest newcomers to join only one kingdom.
As option. Hegemonia would be nice (since I always think it was a mysterious kingdom that appears in the log in map), but it may need to move the etins that drops secrets to another place, and move the noob monsters to it (all the nooby pits, well or the 50%). It also requires create a town for Hegemonia.
All newcomers together, more chance for them to make party. Of course, they should have some nooby pvp wars.
* When they achieve Crossing Class, they relog and then it asks what kingom (Vyseus, Yilse or Zypern) they want to move.
* Allow AFK leveling in some cases (need to discuss, it could be a specific hour(s), etc)
I think at least tank and healer, because the AFK tanker could help a casual player who moves there later (<<OMG FREE TANK>>)
I'm up for more discuss. But please forget the current leveling zone, since it is until lvl 12.
