As I see it, there are two reasons to make a new server. I have difficulty understanding the attraction for the powers that be, of team PVP server ahead of either of these two server ideas:
1) A second blue server to alleviate the endgame woes - i.e. make endgame more available.
2) A second blue server to expand past Velious with custom semi-Luclin content. This one "needs" to happen, but probably would be 2 to 3 years out.
I'll admit that thinning out the player base is potentially problematic (aside from the end game thinning)... but if there will be a new team pvp server, that risk exists anyway. Both 1 and 2 above address a real problem. The introduction of a team PVP server does not - at least at first glance. Perhaps such a server would have the same effect as idea number 1 however. Hmmm....
