As being someone who used to play 2001 non stop for about a year, I've found my online time tapering off. A reset would be great of course, I'd have a reason to play. Roleplaying would intice me to play too.
Or what about simply opening up some new areas in the trees? Or maybe like a new overworld in addition to this one? Or someplace added on (sorta like UG Lake.) It's a tough call, but I think they should bring back RPing first, it won't take much work and what can it hurt? Make RPing more laxed though, but still active, and include Zalactics
