the core issues with the server are not the updates, the way I see it updates are made to retain OLD players only. New players are not able to participate in the updates a majority of the time in almost any way. The other core issue is the fact that having money = power on the server, a new player could NEVER raid/defend a base so they have 0 way to make money other than RNG type things like events and giveaways. I'm not sure how this could be solved seeing as the server is very PVP oriented. One way I could see change is adding more ways to make money that can't be interrupted or completely destroyed by players with more capital, at least level the playing field when it comes to fighting it out over money. Maybe a certain area to base where no explosives are allowed or certain jobs that can only go to one district. Obviously these are of the top of my head but I think with a bit more thought and creativity we could definitely make the fresh experience more palatable.
