These are good changes, but may I suggest a few more for future cutbacks?

-Gender: Gender should be limited to just male. This will also eliminate the need to guess if that chick you're mudsexxoring is really a chick or just a Russian

-Preps: Get rid of A/B/S and change all spell effects to "change sex", but being that there is only one gender, you now become "more male" - this increases the thickness of chest and arm hair which provides some limited resistance.

-Cabals: Get rid of all the jobs in Herald and replace with "shadow puppeteer". It's silent and doesn't cost anything, and if you look closely, it really does look like Abraham Lincoln.

-Alignment: Get rid of evil, but still encourage PK and watch people try to love each other to death.

-Leveling: Increase the fun by making hero level 99, but since there is no evil to kill, you can only reach it by quests.

-Server: Due to cutbacks, reduce the amount of people able to log on to 2, and one of the spots is reserved only for imms.

I think these suggestions are in line with your previous ones and will affect positive change in the player base.
