Competition always helps; BUT look at the ''top rated 250 list'' no chance at #1 or 100 on most categories.
(Maybe do like high schools, and break it up now in; A, AA, AAA categories kind of like the pvp range? Using join dates, guild exp or whatever best fits as division points for each? Now you have revitalized the competition on 3 maybe 4 tiersthe top tier ,well, most are way out there.
Get a new tutorial for the game and streamline the opening content - from personal experience I know the game has lost promising players who could not be bothered waiting 10 hours to regain stam to get out of a dead end. You may say - screw them - quitters! We need less quitters.
As the old players die off, what's gonna be left

Joining a top 5-20 Guild where people are made "liquid" and de-leveling to regain more guild xp might as well BE a "WIN KEY"I know grim wrote '''I ain't gonna hand you a keyboard with a 'WIN' key.'''
