Wars bring people into the game but its the wrong kind of activity, its bang and bust. It drags those who sit on skype into the game for a short time who then promptly disappear once its over. You can't bring those kinds of players back, either they are bored or simply apathetic and have no more interest in being a character in the server, they just want to shoot stuff.

Tbt this is the problem with the Edge Worlds because 99% of activity there is wars and there's zero ambient activity to fill the gaps. The trade event there fixed that, albeit for a while, as it actually placed ambient activity within those gaps and for the first time in years factions had something else to do other than shoot hostile IDs.

I think generally speaking trade events are a really awesome formula that we should make use of much more often.
