But one of the problems with Luclin is that it introduced a bunch of new early-game zones, which thinned out the already thinning out server populations across a larger world. Old zones started feeling empty - and that trend just continued with each xPac to be introduced. Nobody was in Crushbone or Unrest, etc, anymore, because everyone went to Paludal.

Some xPacs like PoP or Gates of Discord, for instance, I really enjoyed. Those xPacs added mostly end-game content, and left the early game alone (for the most part). So it appealed to the people who had been playing on servers for years and wanted new challenges for their max-level toons.

Well, that and of course the ROUNDED HILLS EW
I think you’ve put the cart before the horse. Before Luclin dropped the newbie zones and suboptimal zones were already rather empty. Luclin was the cure, not the poison, it consolidated the disparate players into a single spot where they could act as a functional population.
