Outside of transfering off the server(the people willing to do this already did), theres one obvious and easy solution that doesnt get mentioned often. Split the server - like King Solomon with the baby. Give everyone a 1 month window to input a command while online. Are you team /Bal or team /Mung? Try to let people have their pick(they can change as often as they want over the month - the last entry given is the one counted), but if more then 2/3 pick one side then a certain number of randomly selected people dont get their way(people who dont vote would be an issue to figure out - do they get used to balance the sides with no choice? do we think theyre coming back at all?). People keep everything, but their server has a new name now. These would be the first characters on the new copied servers, so there are no name or housing disputes(a bunch of plots just opened up!). Give both servers an RP tag, open them both up to transfers and new characters(you may need a rule that you cant transfer from one to the other for a certain period of time to prevent the old problem from resurfacing). Voila! We have cut the baby in half, and now both parents can be happy.
