Once Graal3d comes around, you'll probably see the same numbers on 2k2 as you do 2k1 now, since everyone will move on to it. Trust me, nothing you do will bring people back to 2k1.
A new overworld would probably do the trick, but I still don't think it would get as many people as it would if you put it under the classic tab.
My god, a new arrangement in staff isn't going to do anything either unless you do something with a giant impact, such as moving it under the classic tab or a new overworld.

What you say sounds nice, and would be convincing, if the reader doesn't know the former state of our staff (No organized projects, no hiring, nothing being done).
You must admit that having SOMETHING being done is better than having nothing productive being done.
2k1's a great server...you shouldn't have given up on it, Jourdan. I haven't given up on it, and have no plans to.
Consider this.
People left graal2001 because it became boring to them.
Other people left because the playercount dropped because of this as well as because of 2k2.
Less people = more boring, so more people left.
This spiral continued unabated.
However, I am looking to stop this spiral. I encourage anyone who cares about 2k1 to start playing it again; if not now, then when we announce all the many new things being released.
If you come and stay and play, others will do the same. The playercount will go up, causing others to come back. Face it, many people left 2k1 to go to other playerworlds (They didn't all go to 2k2).
And finally, with more people coming back and staying, the more fun the server will become. Meanwhile, we will still be working on bettering the server overall.
Graal2001 can succeed as a gold server. It just needs work, and that's what Jeff and I, and by extension our development staff, are doing our best to accomplish.
