I agree on the merging part, allthough that probably won't be needed (if you look at the amount of beta applicants )Hopefully they will keep an eye on population for servers and offer incentives for joining less populated servers/factions.
Also hope that if they find that 2 out of 5 servers are just really low in population, they merge them together. (random numbers btw, not read anywhere how many servers will be around for each country)
(sorry for the whole crap story at the end, but it still annoys me to this very day that the average IQ of the alb players on EU servers was somewhere between 50 and 80.)
So either EVERY SINGLE ALB ON EU SERVERS was just as you described or more than a few of them were single-celled organisms?
Nothing like dragging up the past as we go forward into the future eh? Yay for community spirit etc etc...
