But should priority be given to the players who still play now. The players who have payed a subscription to continue to play.

There's no good reason to block current players because it could have an impact on someone who doesn't and might never play the game any more.

If they want returning players to be able to play with their friends again in the future, then increase the population limits on the servers.

We've lost half of the servers, if inactive players are still counted then obviously the limits on the number of players on each server is going to need to be increased.
