- reason BS was starting to gain more plrs is because you were making changes to make normal mode easier, but in the process the mode lost its identity and many people who tried older versions of normal mode pretty much quit because they didn't get the perks of exp lamps / easier entry to gameplay
- obtain more advanced analytics of your current active playerbase, if the case is that iron/hard mode active players are the majority then it's time to rebrand normal mode
- rebrand (& reset) the normal mode to have a new identity - something along the lines of accelerator/pk mode
- finish raids and do the rebrand of the mode alongside the raid release (raids can serve as a form of damage control here)
- you can enable something like 2x drops/xp the day the mode is released, so people can get established quicker
- create a new proj thread on r-s to get the opinion of some people of your new mode and a chance for you to show off content you've added to BS since you last had an advert thread posted (note: rune-serv people shouldn't be the main source of a playerbase, just some people to give feedback initially)
- follow up with RSPS youtubers who you said replied to you before, you need to advertise if you plan on rebranding an entire game mode (countdown on site, get people active on discord, etc)
