Make Lordaeron great again
Dear warmane staff, dear warmane players,
Lordaeron is still really fine today, but the population is continuously decreasing, it's a fact and its scary for the future of the realm.
Here is some suggestions to make it more attractive:
1) Promote 3s

Do not give gladiator title in 2s and only in 3s and give it to rank 2-5 instead.
Remove the 2s titles every season and make permament titles only obtainable from 3s.
Add a tournament at the end, nothing big but just something to gather the community. Doesn't have to be cash but perhaps 23 coins each player in the winning team.
Increase the arena points gatherd from 3s even more than it is now, which will motivate people do to 10 games in the 3s bracket more often.
Give challenger title in 3s to the lower rated teams so they feel they have obtained something.
PROS: Lordaeron would be dope if 3s was really active and it would attract a ton of decent PvPers. Also, these changes are, I think, really simple to implement in the game.
CONS: Not blizzlike requirements, and 2s will be way less rewarding title wise.
2) Debuff old content for new players
PROS: It will be easier for new players to find their place in the current pve scene (ulduar).
CONS: Less challenging, less hardcore. But hey, we are talking about something that was fully cleared months ago.
3) More communication, more changelogs when you do wild hotfixes
PROS: Make the PvE competition possible for everyone.
CONS: More work for your team.
4) Bring HK titles back
PROS: Motivate people to queue for battlegrounds to farm their shiny titles = active pvp. Not gamebreaking, not harmful lorewise.
CONS: Not blizzlike. But this was a feature here on molten/warmane for years.
5) Make heirlooms available for people who already have a lvl 80
PROS: People who don't like to play the same char 24/7 will be able to roll alts in an easier way. Also, instead of rushing their own char in low level dungeons with their 80 using a double account trick, they will have to make it on the same account to use heirlooms. Finally, this a blizzlike feature.
CONS: Less hardcore.
6) Promote World PvP
HOW: Change the loot of the chest inside Gurubashi arena. Place a certain amount of gold in it (let's say 1000g for the example) and you will see a battle without any precedent in this arena.
You can also randomly spawn an equivalent chest in some zones so the people rush there and make the world pvp active. (Hillsbrad foothills for example)
PROS: Active world pvp.
CONS: Not blizzlike at all, and generate free gold in the game.
7) Generate system message when a battleground is opening, just like on blackrock
PROS: Motivate people to join battlegrounds. It's already existing on blackrock so I guess it's doable.
CONS: 404
8) Implement Rated Battlegrounds
PROS: Make PvP scene way more active and competitive in battlegrounds.
CONS: Not blizzlike at all, and I guess it requires a lot of work for the dev team.
