All I know is it drives me nuts when server numbers aren't actually given. Back in the day on live my friends and I actually picked low pop EQ servers (Saryrn was our first and main) on purpose to avoid running into as many people trying to camp/xp where we wanted to.
Nowadays on WoW it's terrible. I was starting up the free account with a friend (until I realized two starter accounts can't form a group.... oh well) and the low/medium/high/full listings on their server list are not remotely close to accurate. "Full" server census info that I did myself in primetime for that server found like 500 players. Meanwhile a "high" pop server had thousands of players during primetime.
