Is adding more worlds going to actually fix this problem?

To be honest, I think you should never underestimate the power of more servers. but for actual increased space and for the effect on peoples login habits.

When the new servers are eventually rolled out it's my guess that people will finally stop staying logged in 24/7
I remember a year when I was young kid there was a petrol shortage in Ireland.
When the shortage was announced on the news people started scurrying to their local pumps to fill their tanks in case they ran out later.
There were families with 2 or 3 cars selfishly thinking "well I don't want my car to run out so I'm going to get a full tank now"
This made petrol stations run out in about 24 hours, and station were getting 3,4,5,6 times their normal custom.

the translation of this is
Assuming 8 hours play a day, over 24 hours you can fit three users on a 'space' at 8 hours each (this is an estimation just to show the math in place)

Thus over 24 hours using this simplified formula you can have 5000 spaces service 15000 users. 5000 for 8 hours, then a new 5000, then another then it starts again.

But as it is now if 4000 users are staying logged permanently for fear of never being able to log back in, That leaves the other 1000 spaces to be used by people logging in and logging out,
so it's 5000 spaces servicing 7000 users over 24 hours.

Once the idea permeates that "we've it all sorted out; servers for everyone!!", people will begin behaving like normal human beings and logging of when they've finished and an AFK will no longer be needed.
Whatever the physical number of users the game can accommodate post server expantion, the actual number over time, will be greatly increased.
