If the OP has time to make these replies, they have time to respond to those who disagree. They won't reply because they know they have no leg to stand on. So, they instead handwave and dismiss opposing viewpoints. As I noted before, you admonish (I know fancy words too) people who disagree for their blind loyalty to SE, yet you ask people for that exact same blind loyalty because you've yet to provide a shred of evidence. So, I need to accept SE at their word, or you at yours. Given SE has the server data and recently reopened Gilgamesh, I think I more trust them...especially since you have absolutely nothing concrete to base your assertions on, just a hunch that everything will be alright if the flood gates are opened.

I understand the issue with server stagnation, but server limits are server limits, and a massive influx of new and returning playing causing queues and instability is not going to help Balmung. You can't fit ten pounds of players in a five pound bag, no matter how desperate you are. The power of faith and determination, strong though it may be, cannot overcome cold, hard mathmatics.
