I am not sure what the long-term thoughts are for this server cluster. The challenge for all WU servers is making something compelling without it becoming Minecraft or Pay-2-Win. Most server owners (myself included in the past) usually have an idea about the type of server they want to create, but not everyone considers the longer term viability.
Then reality kicks in. That reality is that you are competing with many other servers, some with some excellent development and community support staff. The question then becomes, why should people be attracted to this server? Why this server versus others? Is this likely to be a long-term server?
I think you have a huge head-start in that bdew has awesome development skills. This makes a huge difference.
So why am I writing this? Just that in my humble opinion, when considering new suggestions, some level of consideration should be given as to what is likely to attact new players to make the server stand out from the others and thus making it viable in the long term.
Of course, that decision is totally down to the owner, and it maybe that bdew isn't at all worried about creating a popular server, I have no idea at this point.
In any case I think it is a great server cluster right now, so just wanted to make some constructive comments.

I'll just throw my 2 cents in here. My experience in WO tells me that the number 1 thing that keeps people coming back to a server is community. So my suggestion to everyone who joins is to try being as involved as possible because when people feel they are a part of something they will come back. Flashy doodads and gimmicks help to attract them but the people will keep them coming back.
