It seems a lot of people arguing against splitting the server in two for some period of time keep pointing to the population stagnating or somewhat dropping off after the weekend.
Honestly, I think this has more to do with the fact that people will try to LFG for 2+ hours and maybe be able to solo 1 blue con every 15 minutes while they wait. For most people it isn't realistic to even try to play in this state.
I know seeing 2k + online means there's not reason for me to even log on and I'm sure others feel the same way. I bet 2 servers would easily maintain 1.5k prime time for a long time. If a merge ever happened the excess server could be used for the potential brown/pink/purple or whatever new red server is being considered.
Classic + Kunark might have enough low-mid range content to support a population like this, but Classic by itself does not.
