The best solution imo is creating 2 differents servers for war2, one for pr0s (or known ppl) and another one for the newcomers, with 1 or 2 admins there , maybe 3 if we want to have a fulltime control on it. That's cause the first impact for the "newb" with our community usually is very brute, most of ppl is not sociable (me included). That way we could create a second community, and the players that have played for enough time , or have developed enough skills can join our server.
I'm pretty sure most of you will think thats a stupid idea, since it would "split" the community in two different parts, but everyone should recognize how sad the situation is , ive logged everyday this week and havent seen more than 20 players at a time, which is very bad.
We have nothing to lose, so think to it. We should try.
