A few other ideas:
There are apparently some items scattered over the world that 'with a bit of skill are yours for the taking' as Shade said. If some hints were given at what kind of items these are or what kind of skills are needed I'm sure some people would go searching for them. All the info on these items that I can find is that there's 10-15 of them, the easiest one can be found in Occlo and you can take them with a bit of skill. What makes it even worse is that the items you can take were added like 1-2 months ago and we were told they were new items that would stick out if you know the area. Well new players don't know what new items were added so it's a really cryptic and not very helpful description!
Add a master quest NPC. This NPC doesn't have to tell you what the quests are, but just where you can find NPCs to give you the quests. This would encourage some people to do the quests since if you can't even find the NPC you have no idea what the quests are.
Make a more consistent weekly tour or special monster appearance. There's supposed to be a weekly reg but I don't see or read about it every week and if there's no consistency peopl won't know if it exists or not or even if they should try to be home at that time. It doesn't have to be a reg every night, just something simple like a few slightly stronger monsters attack a town. I don't think that takes much setup time or even monitoring...
