Sadly after 1 month, max 2 months most players had left the game and they where left with many ghost servers where only a hand full of players played on. And that in turn made the entire game look more deserted then it was, causing more players to leave and discourage new players to try and find a home in those games.
You make a good point however denying access for a potential problem later is not a solution either. Seems to me when you get a message saying, the world is full come back later, the developers allowed more players on a server then it can handle. If SE adds more servers how will that help unless people move to another server, the servers will be still full. Seems to me they sold more tickets then the concert hall has seats. Is SE increasing the server load or just adding more servers? This is unclear to me. Having a server that is maxed then having a queue to filter them all in if they log at the same time is one thing but SE says there are to many comeback later. How is this acceptable?
