Hmm... I am not saying it is a good or bad idea but... the Colonies could go. Let the players emigrate to where ever they want (or need due to character limits on islands) but transport Outer Tilog (and any others who wish to join them) to the Zuma's lands. Then Outer Tilog continues to exist and can carry on the history of the Colonies. (Hitch a ride with the Lich King to visit the Zuma)
Sure we loose the Zuma but Outer Tilog is the nearest player driven nation in comparison to them already.
This would put about 100 characters onto other islands. Do not get me wrong. I love the Colonies but truth is we have a lower player count than other islands. We are the least thought of and least used...but on the other hand also the least complained about.
What the game will loose from the Colonies is a one turn per day island... but all islands and nations are directed to not judge a player by activity level anyway.
Would doing something along this line be considered too much work due to restructuring the Zuma lands ownership from GM to character?
