ya ya, I was on Sorrows Furnace! We pwnd pvp all day long!

Was super fun and crowded as a mother

I'm think I am leaning toward less populated servers.....I don't like being crowded. (>.<)

I tried Sorrow's Furnace and Darkhaven, but ended up in Maguuma. The first two weren't full quite yet when I was trying to join, but were getting so many players all at once I couldn't get a connection in.

are ya kidding me, the games designed around highly populated servers, on sorrow you could portal or walk to most of the different areas and catch an event it was great.

as a matter of fact i hope anet doesnt pull the omg we need more servers cause of initial hype and have all those servers go dead after a month and have to merge... that sucks, seen that in SOOO many games, it ruins it, i say take the effort to get the servers stable when over crowded and leave em that way.

It's more than just stability. They're going to have to deal with balance issues as well if server populations are too high. Since dynamic events aren't instanced it means the entire server could jump in all at once. I saw some dynamic events get rendered boring by being completely overwhelmed by numbers. It felt like the entire server was doing the same event at the same time all together. That same event was much more entertaining 30 minutes later with only 15 people.
