Here's what I think SV should do (suggestion):
Right now, remind players you are still working. Get a new Krampus event going. Krampus in every town.
Early next year, drop Sarducca along with a Wipe so new players feel like they have a chance of really being the best again. Because all the content is new content to them. I personally include a wipe for this reason, but the rest of the suggestion could stand on it's own.
MO 2nd Wind Marketing. Like it's a new game launch.
Then go back to Myrland and start dumping hella content. Start Seasons of themed content. For example, MO2 Dragon Age Hype going.
In the future more people will more easily be able to afford a computer that runs UE5 smoothly, so keep working towards the investment of getting the game into UE5 early. So that barrier to entry will lift over time.
Keep leading the way as to what a PVP sandbox is capable of. Be the pioneer on UE5 AI elements on a map. AI bosses, special scripted events and POIs like the meteors, but extended to other aspects of ongoing exploration. Keep players always guessing and intrigued as to what the current Season will deliver.
