You'll notice Everquest Live has reduced servers as the game's population has decreased. By your philosophy, Everquest Live should still be creating additional servers and my Live server, Mithaniel Marr, should not be combined with four (that right?) other servers: Saryrn and the two that Saryrn merged with.
