I'd have to support making Zodiac, and Era, Gold servers.

Aren't Era and Zodiac's current relatively large playercount partly contributed to by the fact that observer mode is removed?
You also have to consider that prices were alot smaller when P2P was first introduced compared to now and that there was the promise of lifetime basic subscription to accompany the purchase of Gold.
Considering this I would imagine such a change having an extreme effect on playercount in the current climate of Graal.
However with the supposed changes to subscriptions that are being touted for V6 onwards it's possible that a greater balance between income and playercount could be achieved, it would also defeat the purpose of the Gold Tab, hard to say whether this would allow GK and Zone to start flourishing or whether they'd continue suffering the post-Stefan affect.
