Nah, better to expand the planet as new players come. Shouldn't that be possible with the recent server merge and R2 setup?

I can see a day when the need for a new server(Windermeer) is needed, what I do not see is the Devs moving players or guilds. We all have the option to start a new toon on any server.
Would I start a new toon on this new server? Yes
Would I leave Arispotle? No
One of this games best features is it's community, if the server is spit then we lose half of what makes this game so great.

I am not seeing this "influx" doing much but bring us closer to where we were when we merged numberswise. What cannot be changed is the community we have become, this is MY disfunctional family.

There would be so many vacuums in this idea, I cannot even start to mention them.

PLUS, I could never leave Zerlin !

I voted no. I prefer the class and style Europeans bring to the genre. Their gaming styles tend to smooth out some of the sharp edges characterizing the US player base. I think the consolidated English speaking server is an optimal gaming environment.

If given the option, I'd actually prefer to play on the Euro server although the hours would kill me.

Even with the "influx", the population still isnt as high as it used to be.
type /who anywhere away from an outpost battle or RoS, and you would be lucky to get 8 people in the region, even Void and GoC are pretty deserted these days.
My perspective on this is from an Australian timezone, so all the whinging about Euro/US time incompatibilities just makes me laugh.

Absolutely not! Maybe when there are so many players that all of the outposts are changing hands every three or four days due to the weight of competition, then it might be worthwhile rezzing Windy.

Yeah, I mean the population is definitely healthier than it was say, a few months ago, but I don't think its time yet to start talk about splitting up the english server in two. Maybe after the game gets more subs so that the devs can consider opening up more than seven outposts per nation should we even consider a course of action (personally I don't think we ever should we do it unless it becomes an issue of server load)

I voted yes, it would be a real pain in the proverbial, and would upset the community we have but looking at longterm I think it could be for the best.

NO more RP events a weird time to try and suit everyone, no more contentiously timed OP battles.

I am not saying it would be ideal to switch things back far from it but for Long term community without recurring arguments over event times etc it would seem the way to go.

I voted no, as I believe that we still could need more players in our community.
And player in other timezones help people who work shifts to find teams when they get online during 'odd' hours.
