Question regarding server split

[Fanguru]

On Terris-Thule, CoM was always a ghost town. Noone went there for xp, it was just the odd shaman soloing to farm the books once, or people coming for ghiosk/nehashiir/rakashiir.

I totally agree its cause of player numbers. The "Well there were 2k ppl on live servers" is a stupid argument was my only point. Cause on Live ppl didn't know any better and actually grouped in crappy zones. There were also LOTS more lower lvl ppl regularly playing. P99 everyone knows where the good exp/loot camps are and flocks there and the vast majority of people are 50+

1.2k players ends up feeling like a LOT more than 2k used to feel

I would counter that the reason people grouped in 'crappy' areas is not because they were 'crappy' but because it was necessary due to the fact that other areas were full.

The big problem is the fact that everything is so top heavy. 2k pop live servers pre-velious launch were mostly sub 50 players. I'd venture less than 20% of the population was above level 50 on live. Here 85% of the server likely has at least one character above 50.
