You promised an event, but it failed. But the game is stagnating fast (until at least the next Halloween event).
Can't you roll out an older Crisis Quest just to keep the chat and trade channels alive during the summer instead? Pretty Please??
Best Crisis quest ever was the Four Winds, as it was great for lower levels as well as L50 players. I reckon any new player would see how good the game can be with something like this.
A re-hash of that quest would be welcome in these boring, uneventful summer weeks.
