Did you read the posting of the server merges at all? SE states the hiding of names will balance the servers. Everyone will pick server 1, until it is maxed. Then it will be 2, until it is maxed.

We're getting rid of 8 servers, and groups are already claiming servers. This means that a few Linkshells will populate random servers, Germans and French communities are told to be in 10, and the top 4 will be maxed or high pop.

Balance?
