I personally do not like the idea of the potions, I think if players just respawned on the spot without the potion and it was announced on Classic, Era would gain many more players. A few people just don't like the idea of guns, some wanted to stay on Classic to support their guilds. Other people just like all of the customization options.(You get more heads and hats on classic than on Era with the customization pack for free, and there is much more for sale.)

In summary, the best way to improve the playercount would be to release a bunch of hats,add some kind of beginners protection(goes away if you hurt someone) (or better yet, remove the potion/hospital), and give new players a better tutorial.
I will not stand here and believe that you just said that to increase the playercount you add more hats.

The players of Classic iPhone detest the prices of hats and wish for them to be removed. If you want more players, make hats cost 100-500g. Then players will swarm to the server because of cheap prices.
