i agree with this to an extent.

yes, the numbers will increase on 2.0 and the ps3 release, but they also stated alot of work was going to be done and will be changing over to different servers then as well. the servers we are on now will not be the servers we are on once 2.0 hits anyways.

we can't compare these numbers as the ps3 has not released yet, but we can compare them in the fact that we are in game playing it and will be paying to do so for almost a year. even if we only lose 25% of the people per server once payment takes effect then karnak will go from 200 to 150 players online during na primetime. that is too low to have people want to stay in a server that dead. the options are rerolling on a different server and losing a year worth of progress, staying on a dead server and playing a mmo solo, or waiting until 2.0.

i'd be happy if they just merged the small servers into one larger server so at least we had enough people to play together with and have fun in the game. that would not hurt the large servers an any way, but would make the game better for those on the small servers.
