Hey, I have an idea to get it back to the top, I'm willing to do some work for this.
For free of course, I think this will also add a sort of skill system that needs a bit of grinding to level up.
Do you know if you can work Denizen with MythicMobs?
It's a plugin that lets mobs have customised names, custom skills that can damage and use particles extremely well, it has spawners for these mobs and the mobs have AI. Not only just this but it can also be integrated with MagicSpells as both seem to be very compatible with each other. It's fairly easy to config, personally I believe this can be used well with both 2 plugins/addons (Denizen, MagicSpells) to create a new experience as I've seen no other star wars server willing to try this out yet. We can renovate places in Tatooine and other planets to have their own mobs and live citizens that can drop money and such on death. They are also customisation with their own factions (not the plugin) so they don't attack eachother or attack another faction.
It seems like I'm just preaching about how well this would work but I'd recommend you give it a try.
