I think it's fair to say, you did it! Well Done!
Personally I don't play anymore but may come back from time to time. However, I see from the stats that you broke the Uthgard curve. They were at roughly 400 players peak at this time (11 months in) and you have managed to retain roughly 1200. This has even been on a slow upwards trend for the last couple of months at least.
So, whilst I didn't agree with every change and ultimately I don't play as much as I used to, you do deserve the credit for creating a server which can maintain what looks like a somewhat sustainable size of player base.
I imagine it's difficult walking the line and making decisions with such a famously opinionated and dis-unified player base, but keep it up!
Good Luck and Congrats!
