Maybe we'll have 666v666v666 fights this time if they do. I'd be for it if both servers have a population that sums to less than 6K with even populations during prime-time.

Best news I've heard all day, I salute you Smedley

I think Connery could easily consume a couple west coast servers. Send us Helios, would give the VS a pop buff and even out the empires.

Yes, Helios needs help. Esamir and Amerish are always deserted. Also, I find it strange that VS was the population majority at first, but now it's NC.

I think its a smart move in that it will save many players from being marooned in low pop servers. Yes they need to address the fundamentals causing the player bleed, but this will buy them some time to do it.

Agreed. Although it'll probably push the rendering issues back into the limelight (if they were ever out of it.)

Interesting to see SOE accepting that there will no outstanding growth in the near future. They may focus more on the needs of the current customers....

it doesn't mean they can't always expand if need be, regardless of what the future holds for this game, this was badly needed now. MLG could potentially breath new life into the game and SOE is clearly banking on it so we'll see.

This does not exclude more growth, as with each continent adds 2000 more player capacity.

glad to see this finally being done, much needed. Only miller is the server which reaches high population these days. :/

Hoping to get some Amerish action going on

Anyone else hoping they merge the names too ?

Like "Ceres" + "Woodman" = "Cerman"/"Woodres" !

It's not like they merge the servers and then take the unused servers and throw them in the sea...

Waterson + Mattherson = Watherson/Matterson ....

I'm hoping for something like... US East :P

I know we do not have the details yet and I don't want to jump to conclusions but...this is fantastic news.

Player populations with always fluctuate but I would be more then happy to wait in a queue to join a fully populated server then ghost cap esamir all day.

The worst possible outcome of this is overpopulation in which you can just add another server...that is a much better problem to have over what we have now imo.

I hope they will just make it to 1-2 Servers per Region and add Hossin + Continent locking quickly.
