the population is what I hear is the main problem people have with the game.

Not even close my friend. 

I never tried it cause I heard the lead developer was a total doosh

If they pay me to play then I would consider it.

It's too late now.  When Derek Smart took over he should have :

1) Made it F2P to level cap with RMT for cosmetic items and endgame

2) Merged Servers to just one server

3) Drastically improved models, animations, combat smoothness

4) Replaced Tork (who quit) with someone equally skilled at community relations

5) Kept himself out of the forums and their moderation

At this point I can't imagine anything can increase their population, but I wish them luck.

make a new game.

They could sneakily reboot this under a different name.

Pretty much sums it up.

At this point their best hope is to license it out to someone else under one of the F2P umbrella companies.

Alganon is a POORLY done DIRECT-COPY of WoW.

Don't believe me? Even this reviewer points it at as soon as his character enters the world, and don't just take his opinion at stock value (he loves WoW, and WoW-Clones): Video

Alganon needs to be remade into NOT a WoW-Clone, and then people will care about it. I'm sorry if this affends you, but it IS the primary issue with the game. It is a horribly done clone.

Sell it to gpotato. 

Thats what seems to happen to most failed MMOs nowadays...

Not much at this point. Absent a major marketing budget (that the investors are not likely to fund) the game is going to keep limping along, until the investors have finally had enough and pull the plug.  Once Tork left (I totally understand why that was), it was all down hill from there.  It didn't help that Mr Smart drove off most of the long term supporters of the game, but thats water under the bridge at this point. 

the answer is simply "add an amazing feature that hasn't been done before and improve the genre".

really, things like Agriculture come to mind...and multi-material combination influencing stats of similar items crafting with chances to create unique items in an open economy.

Are you talking about Wowganon?

Well I think everyone can see what the problem with Wowganon is, and that's why they stay well away from it.

Thank you for that. From this day forth ANY game that has Cloned WoW verbatum (Alganon, Allods, Runes of Magic) I shall put WoW in there to prove a point.

WoWganon, WoWlods, Runes of WoW, etc etc.

:)!

Try to advertize as the WoW-like game you can play for 3 months while waiting for Terra/D3/TSW/Etc to come out and then hope people stay instead?

Right now there are a tremendous number of people looking for a 2-3 month game -- just something to fit in before the next crop of games actually finally maybe hit the market.

Look what has been created O_O!

The horror ^...^!

WoWift? (Rift lol)

WoWion? (Aion)

Might as well say WoWfall and Wowtal Online while you're at it, since you're lumping a game like WAR into it.  WAR isn't even remoitely similar other than UI.  At launch, WAR didn't even have any real dungeons.  They were almost strictly PvP, something WoW completely lacks to this day, meaningful PvP.

Guild WoW's 2?  EVE WoWline?  Lord of the WoW's?  Star Wow?  Age of Wow?  Hell, since we're being really ignorant here..  WoWtima Online, EverWoW and Asheron's WoW seem fitting.

I have to agree, especially with the last two points.  I was a big supporter and despite the bugs found enjoyment in the game and the community.  I would have continued to play on and off if not for these changes.

The fact that is RvR doesn't mean that WAR doesn't share the same WoW structure, not just the UI

Mortal Online and Darkfall are 2 completely different beasts.
