This population is as classic as it gets.
Pretty sure the live servers ended up splitting into secondary servers to deal with population around late 2000, early 2001 (suspiciously, the time frame we are locked to).

Splitting servers is classic. A "limit" is not, but splitting servers is, absolutely.

~2000 nerds on a server was a difficult population to deal with in the year 2000 when no one knew anything. Over 2000 nerds on a server in 2019 where everyone knows everything? And everyone has farmed up an army of alts, and has no new content to move to?

In realness tho, the same couple hundred neck beards that clog up this server would figure ways to simultaneous ruin both servers, if they were available.
