Thanks for your replies guys. At least there remains a flicker of hope.

Let me know if you ever intend on continuing some OCs.
I always intend Soleares, I’m full of intentions! Sadly my complete inability to host a module has now been compounded by an appallingly unstable internet connection. Woohoo!

I myself much prefer low level roleplay, but anything as radical as that would be impossible to implement on a large server as ours (there's simply too many conflicting interests, something like that has to be decided from the beginning). Until a good low level server comes up though, I'd really encourage you to try out one of our Play-A-New-Character events we run roughly two times a year - even if only for two weeks, during that time, it's all low levels since everyone basically makes new characters.
If ever a server suited being geared towards lower levels it’s Ravenloft. It was an absolute pleasure to play there many moons ago and be fearful, afraid and downtrodden. I’d recommend your Play-a-new-character event to anyone, but once that week or two is over it’s my perception that the default server population is no longer low level and vulnerable (I don't mean any offence in stating this). The prey has become hunter. As you allude to, this can be a one way street as nobody wants to give up levels and kit.
The one thing I have considered in a bigger, more populated server with multiple hubs (like your own) is seeing if it’s possible to base yourself in one of the lesser used hubs and play in a style to which you gain more enjoyment. For example, try to band together some lower levels in a place mages and those with flaming swords are unlikely to tread. If I can think of a way of doing that without coming across as an elitist and divisive bell-end (always a challenge at the best of times) I may give that experiment a go.
Unfortunately, in my experience all secondary hubs on servers are more dangerous for low levels than the primary hub where the high levels will insist on frequenting ad-infinitum. If someone could come up with a way to apply a swift IC broom to the backside of the player base to move onto another hub when they reach a certain level so the initial one remains largely geared towards lower levels that’d be dandy (e.g. traders at the initial hub aren't wealthy enough to buy valuable loot etc). But whether anyone would want to do that to their server is another matter.

I'm in the middle of building something low-level (top level 8-10), HCR-infused and RP-focused.
If enough people and help turns up this could become a PW (hopefully side-stepping most problems that derailed many similar PWs before).
For the time being we're just having a bit of fun. Do PM me if you are interested, however.
This sounds promising, but I regret I just don’t get any kicks from building and have the creative powers of a walnut. Hopefully someone reading this will be of more use to you. I would however be nauseatingly grateful should your project grow wings and come to pass. If it gets near beta and you need any playtesting etc I’d be happy to assist I’m sure. Good luck!
