This is sort of crazy and has some obvious problems that I'll address later but I definitely feel that salt isn't the problem, rather the lack of centralization/concentration of the community regarding servers. I don't mind the amount of regiments since it's great for diversity but the fact that we're all split up over dozens of servers from group fighting, siege, tdm, to even roleplay really separates the community and the public community. I feel like if we actually tried to just keep all the members on to a few servers it would help concentrate pubs and improve recruiting for all. Maybe we could do a system of where 'on monday all regiments play on X regiment's server but can recruit as well' (of course less then the hoster regiment which would be getting unlimited messages to recruit) and then change the server we populate everyday. I know it's a little far fetched but it will help concentrate the new players and get them introduced to regiments. I know it's a little crazy but I mean hey, it's an idea :-p
