Exactly why I posted here for you guys to get more ideas and trying keep on the idea topic

Idea:
Roughly make the map half size of what it is(keep like that for awhile-until eventually cover with no empty places)-this brings community back together rather than spread out here and there.

Make leveling system mean more? maybe certain level obtain weapon/power/access to another planet?

Squads - Allow the pvp but make so only like 4/5bases (some could be different-zone should be different) what id do:
base 1 - chorus style take over all bases to own(using pvp item to attack)
base 2 - the loved skybase make only 1 though(everyone enjoyed this as good for pk and outside styled
base 3 - Bring showdown back as base it allowed people with not many players to earn base time - I literally got most fatals hrs by owning showdown forever(3rd to 100hrs) So no teaming really isnt an issue imo just takes skill/strategy to win
base 4 - Like the newer bases keep one of these, keeps era/ol players who play zone also happy
---------------
base 5 - maybe something totally different -you decide
---------------
[Reason I say less bases is it brings more competition between squads =more attacks/defending = less 'bored of server' as they'd be active trying to earn bit of time]

Now also if going down quest route pop few iconic npc's about with clues of things to come(i hated this on classic-but does keep the players hoping as shown on classic numbers of times lmao-but dont take to long to make stuff for it)
maybe to add to that there could be squad dedicated to a quest system? idk

Now for stuff like Koth or capture the flag maybe have a ldrboard for these to say whos won most? (p.s if not making showdown a base then DO this!)
