You have a very optimistic view my friend. I don't have a problem with the server becoming more populated, I am just really comfortable with the way it is now and I don't see the need for marketing urgency. Nobody knows for sure when Kunark will come out - it's done with it's done... but 2,000 people is a lot of people, even with Kunark.
More people = more waiting lists for groups
More people = more camps taken
More people = more solo casters getting in pissing matches with full groups over camp rights
More people = more overhead, more GMs, more bandwidth needed
I would have actually preferred my live server had only 800-1000 people on it during peak hours back in the day. I'm all for success of P99, donations, etc. I can just see why some people are apprehensive about launching an entire marketing campaign to get more people on here.
