Obviously there would have be more specific criteria to the invite-only, but if the server is "full" already, it's already detrimental to the existing playerbase as there's no new players at all, and the bottom falls out of the server's economy.

I was thinking more along the lines of the "friend-referral" = "invite code" to that server. I've rarely seen Excalibur open, short of a few tiny windows around 3am when pre-HW all the RMT spammers would ramp up.
