A52 generally needs more something that is not available on other servers to attract and keep more players, but everything I suggested here (primarily for A52) was not very popular (as an example of adjusting racial abilities using lvl up / destroying a character at max lvl and if you don't want the ability to unlock a new slot for professions) (as another example of upgrading old items to a higher item lvl and thus getting more usable items) but somehow this was quite rejected so I'm not trying to mumble about something that could increase the game time even more and thus the fun of the game.
I've noticed that some recent updates were not scanning full files (and for as long as previously) anymore. Not sure if there was info / patch notes mentioning it, or if this will be universaly the case going forward. But it definitely was much better / faster, on my pc at least.
