Recently wurmonline tried something similar, it was a great success for the first map with around 3 times more active online players than regular maps, a quarter of which constantly battling over a rare spawn point in the center of the map. Similarly at the end of the map the top 10 or so players received special coupon codes they could activate on their main accounts. The second round the numbers dwindled greatly to about half. Since then they have not made another map of its kind realizing that dividing the small player base on separate gigantic maps is a bad idea, and instead have simply added those features to existing maps, which garnered plenty of new players for that server.
IMO focus on providence, the map is more than big enough to have a PVP zone/no-mans-land/popham within it.
