Some of these suggestions may seem rather radical for the way the server operates but PLEASE hear them out and listen to them. Currently WoE/BG are not very large compared to other servers but that can easily be fixed and incentives can be added to solve these problems.
ADD A WARP TO BG. Sitting in the top of izlude is a very odd place for new players. A warp there would make it more obvious and would allow newer people to immediately recognize that this server has BG. Or better yet make it it's own map.
MAKE BG FREE, or at least return the zeny spent to get in if they remain through it. Why does BG cost money anyways? This only turns away new players.
To begin, IMPLEMENT THE OTHER BGs AND REMOVE the 1hour delay/BG Keys. Currently BG is not ran enough. There is absolutely no reason to have BG be run only once an hour, unless someone has a key. BG is something that should be automatically activated when enough people wish to play it. Have a chat setup that automatically activates BG when a certain number of people are there (preferably 6~8+).
Secondly, add the glorious equips in return for less BG points.(

This will allow new players to be given a chance, and even older ones the ability to play new classes without the consistent grind. It will encourage more people to play BG/WoE without getting destroyed or having to spend days and weeks hunting even the most basic of gears. It will also give those who play it more of the challenge they've been looking for and breathe more life into WoE/BG To prevent these from ruining the economy for PvM and other gears, force it so they double damage from NON demi human monsters. This will make sure there whole use IS ONLY FOR BG/WoE/PvP.
PREVENT TEAM STACKING IN BG. While equips will always make a difference, teams of only Defense/Healer type characters should not always be on the same side. Simply group the players by class, and role. (At least the obvious ones since it is true people play their classes differently.) This means randomly add a priest to each team one at a time. Separate classes into support/attackers/magic attackers. If there are ever two of the same class, MAKE SURE THEY ARE ON DIFFERENT TEAMS. This will at least give each side a better feeling that they'll at least stand a chance. Nobody wishes to play as a HP/Hwiz/LK team against a bunch of EDP SinX/Champs/Snipers.
ADD MORE MATERIALS TO BG. Grinding for materials is never fun, and leads to people just not WoEing or BGing. Nobody likes to have to hunt, find the materials, and a creator to make slim whites for them, and nobody likes playing against a team full of potion spammers without any of their own. Make it easter to get BG/WoE Slim white potions, blue potions, elemental endowers, EDP Bottles,FCP Bottles, AD Bottles and even possibly items to be used in place of CT when on WoE/BG Maps. This creates a far more fun experience where not everyone instantly dies, people are given incentive to WoE/BG and wont have to grind for zeny/items all day to do so.
I honestly believe these suggestions will make a far more fun experience for players, while still keeping PvM active and creating more people wanting to BG and WoE. Feel free to critisize or add your own points but this, at least in my opinion, will at a lot more life into this server.
Note:
Someone in main said creating automated events will just cause people to autostart BG and cheat it. This makes no sense for the reason that there would be no incentive to. The items given would ONLY work in BG/WoE and thus why would you cheat to get BG items if you're not going to BG.
Also, please no "This argument is old." All you're doing is perpetuating that none of the older players or GMs care. If there are valid reasons against things, state them. Until then it just seems like a play to by those who currently hold power, to remain in power.
