everyone was going to do that anyway. cry as everyone might about high populations magically forcing people off the beaten path, that was never going to happen, because as we learned in actual vanilla, we can't actually crowd people out towards anywhere except the log off button.
spitballing, vanilla is designed for about 800-1000 concurrent players. that is how much content there is before people have to sit on spawn points. I went to CB to hock daniel goods and every orc was dead. couldn't have been safer in a city. that's stupid. it's much better in aussie and euro hours, because the population is better fitted to the content.
i think a little more is good, but too many makes a not viable game. it's part of why the classic model was abandoned in the first place.
