Every server of this game is slowly dying, due to different reasons. One of the biggest ones is surely the split up community between 3-5 servers, hosting different babyboom attempts for 3 servers is more costly and way less effective then it would be to do it for 1 server with 1 community. I don't know if someone will listen to this, but I will still write here my suggestion for keeping this game alive.
1. Merge all the servers
This has been said a lot of times, the playerbase is spread far to thin for this game to be fun. When we had 30k players on primera is one of the main arguments for this. Those who played back then should remember how active the game used to be. Babybooms would be more successfull and the more active community would both make the game more attractive to new players and to possible goldbuyers.
2. Total reset on merge
So far we have had split resets, most of us has seen how little effect these have, the only real solution is (even if merge or servers or not) make a total reset, let players keep their medals, birthday and referals, erase everything else. So much old junk ruining the experience for new players. Also remove things like gold seller badge and force players to buy gold from the game.
3. Nerf item vendor and battle drops
The servers are flooded with EQ, one of the reasons is that after a while the market gets flooded, to balance out EQ we need to make all items as rare as armor or shoes are. Halve the battle drops and slow item vendor down by about 70%.
4. Remove tournament National League
This tournament broke the economy of Suna, either fully remove it, or remove BH gold from national league tournaments. (I suggest the later one, as it could be a fun tournament..)
5. Make top ranks of GO team actual employees
The GO team has always consisted of player who do it for free, which is fine, but for the top ranks in the GO team, this really needs to be totally neutral to everyone, I think they need to be employees of the game, getting paid and not being part of the gameplay in any way. Along with this, for the merged server, this game admin could work a lot of recruiting more GOs as that is in desperate need.
6. ... I had more ideas but I can't seem to remember them right now, if you got any suggestion for more updates, or changes to the one I've written, write in comments!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
