Thanks to all for your feedback.
Let me cut in with a few definite answers. There are a few things that we can leave out of this discussion, either because they are besides the point or they are very unlikely to happen.
First, invasions. Running an invasion is pretty much a second job and it won't happen. I know some people volunteer, but you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Trust me on that, please.
Second, redrawing maps. This is just a crazy amount of work.
Third, changing character limits. That can be discussed in a different topic, it doesn't solve the problem of dropping player count.
As for the War Islands, I'm sorry but I strongly believe that this is a case of the vocal fans being on the forums and everyone else not. If you manage to get a list of 100 players who would return to the game if we re-opened them, I will see if I still have the data.
