I dont know this guy, but... if some active guild want to join our shard, why not? I mean, u dont need to transfer something, just maybe its possible to set up some skills, if he really joinin with hes guild? I just mean not to GM every skill ofcourse, just a bit, to give them motivation... Or just add something like GM magery to new players? Cos our shard is pwnage, everything is nice, but we really need people, its our main problem I dont think someone of our old players will be jealous cos of GM magery as starting skill... Ofcourse if u dont need script so much for it... IMHO

I would have argued with this months ago (or a year ago, whatever) but I have to agree that a gimmick of some sort would help the growth. Maybe if it was just a newbie package of sorts, if nothing else; some extra gold, maybe a full or nearly full spellbook, one shrunken horse, and a set of crap armor with a wep would help new players out and make it a tad less difficult.
If "free" skills are handed out in any way just make sure they aren't gm crafting or anything :p
In any case I think a good way to get some old players back is mass mail everyone again. Some people gave up hope and stopped checking back here. Someone needs to let those players know that this shard is back up and that their accounts are here waiting for them.
