I play in Kradia. We get just a taste of crowding. The popular training maps do get full during peak playing hours, and turn into ks wars on 2x events; the better bosses do get killed within minutes of spawning; if you don't log in within 2 minutes of servers-up you don't get an FM1 spot; and smegas lag you and fill up your chat box at times. We get enough of that for me to know I do *not* want the population doubled. Yes, it would be nice if finding people for PQ's were easier, or the selection in FM were larger, but, for me, the overall peace and quiet outweigh those issues.
Considering our main smegas come from a select few people. The rest are just the usual "gratz" or people inciting drama which lasts all of 5 mins. FM1 spots are overrated anyway with the dc-hackers lurking about. PQs are almost useless now for those who would rather grind. Sure there are a lot who hate grinding and love PQing, but it's not like the good PQs are empty all the time. KS wars happen whenever the hell they want if you use MP3 like me. There are a few UAs/KoCs that just lurk at MP3 waiting to ks a group of 1-2. Also the merchants who are like 16x+ like to hide out at MP3 as well and ks whoever to "help a friend get a map".
OT: Oh god no. Do not merge servers. Hard enough getting maps for somewhat decent training. I'm with Sapta on FM selection, though. Would be nice to have more Guardian20s. Only seen 1 in the last week and I got it for a hefty 35mil. More people = more DWs who are just morons and more UA Pallys forcing the books to inflate that much more.
