I don't think that any single change will result in having massive amounts of players, but I think that a combination of small changes should make a difference.
I think that making the shard friendlier for new players is a good step toward getting them to stay and that's what my focus has been on lately when I do stuff in-game. Not sure if I'm supposed to say what I've been working on, but I think it'll help us keep new players and help people get their character built up faster.
I like both the [Young] status and the renting rooms out idea. Problem is, [Young] status is very non-sphere so that's not going to be very true to our roots. Renting out rooms in the inn is a good idea, BUT the new players have to know about the rooms since few new players read through all the forums before starting to play.
The old message of the day gump might be a good idea. You can turn it off with razor, or just right click it once when you log in.
