Have any staff members given some consideration to my first few suggestions? Here are two others:
4) Random Event System
At a random time each day a random player is picked and awarded a random prize (which goes into their bank). The random prize could be anything from a check for 10k to a team tour ticket, or a piece of decent armor, etc.
It's just another small form of encouragement to get people to log on. And since it's at a random point each day you won't have everyone logging in for 30 seconds each day at 6pm just for a chance to get the prize. Although that might be better since people will see a high count and start running around.
I don't know if it's possible but you could even add a check to this random prize system that sees if the player is doing anything, or if they have been standing there idle in the same spot.
5) Automated Event System
Another suggestion that has been brought up in the past is a sophisticated random automated event system. Basically there would be a set of events and each day or every 6/8/12 hours one of these is chosen at random and a gate opens in pits and a message broadcast to everyone so they know it's open. Now I think in order for this to work you would have to actually give a prize to make people want to go. Yes, it's fun to play in an event, but it seems this isn't enough to get people to log on.
