I noticed the original starting city and zones are very underpopulated. I'm suprised to see more than 5 people in zone. I propose SOE to give away the original EQ with a minimal monthly charge of lets say 5 dollars. To prevent gold miners from abusing this they could prevent all tells from the basic membership to anyone outside their zone. They would still have chat channels but I think it would be easy to find and bane them if they start broadcasting there.
