I think there should be more things to do and more frequent events. Currently the only activity is to keep mining and building your base, or doing some repepitive PvP. Some people, including me, aren't accustomed to such slow progress. The only thing that sticks us people to the server is the chance to see something great happen.
For instance, sieges on your town or alliance. Even the server itself puts PvP as a main selling point, but we, the new players, expect big, serious fights for territory and not minigames. But most part of the players are in the Argus alliance, big, mighty towns with many members. The few people which aren't part of it are scattered across the place, trying to do their own thing. I say, it is impossible to make a real, large scale siege happen.
But there are probably other events to do then sieges, and I think PvP shouldn't be made a selling point for now. Its misleading.
