The good news is that now that the devs have given us a stable platform to play on and shown that they are invested in making changes, QOL stuff, etc., the community can begin taking the initiative to fully invest themselves into the server and create something really special. It's truly on us at this point IMO.
It is on the community. If this turns into elite guilds farming the slower population, like Uth did, things will go the same way. People need to be inclusive to hold the population. I doubt DAOC has many more chances!
Keep helping out realm mates, organizing raids, and keeping community interest high. It's on us as players to protect this server because it will be the last real classic daoc we ever play.
That said, Midgard is running a raid schedule this week. If you want more information, it's being led by Jormungandr: https://forum.playphoenix.online/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3199
