To those saying that splitting the server would kill the population, you are wrong from my point of view. When there's 800 players online, but 300 of them are socking NtoV/AoW etc etc, the real population for casual players like me is 500 players.
I don't raid a lot, so I dont have interactions with most members of the top guilds. If there was a server split and most casual players moved there and the top guilds remained here, most casual wouldn't even see the difference. I'm sorry to say that because there are plenty of nice people in the top guilds, but from a Casual player's point of view, top-end players basicly don't exist and are not part of the same community. .
Let's be honest here. We are not all playing the same game. There's a huge difference between population and community. Let's say all the casual players left the server, aside from being unable to sell your unwanted loot in EC, this game would be basicly the same for the top guild members : Get batphone, log on, compete with the same guilds for the same mobs, log off. Prepare your next RnF posts.
I don't think instances is a good option, but my opinion is irrelevant about that because that content is not meant for players like me on this server and never will. If there was ever a casual server on the horizon, I would gladly make the move. Something like limiting a guild's rosters to 100 toons would probably be enought to make sure the high-end drama we see here wouldn't find it's way there.
