Most games that are similar to the style of Xenimus like Diablo or Path of Exile are successful through their seasonal based servers/content. I think Xenimus should give that a try. Create a new seasonal server that wipes clean after a set timeframe and give out seasonal rewards for top performers in categories, or for achievements that are made within the season. Characters can be transferred to the normal servers once the season ends. A lot of other games even have themes within each season to give some variance to the gameplay/class builds or to test new ideas.

I especially think this is a good idea with the current state of xen 1/2. With the declining population its clear that new ideas need to be tried and tested, and a seasonal server would be a place to test those ideas without hindering normal servers.

For me and a lot of others, Xenimus is fun after full wipes or when new servers release, but begin to stagnate after a while once you start moving into the intense min/max grind.

Please consider this EJ - I can speak for me and my group of folks that play this game periodically, all of us lurk these boards checking in for major content releases or for full server wipes. Until that happens we remain lurkers.
