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.

How safe would you have been in CB in the first week of 1999 launch? Perfectly safe? Dead? No idea? I'd bet more on the safer side, even given the lack of information back then, CB is a pretty straight forward zone (compared to Blackburrow, Runnyeye or Befallen). It was likely camped to hell. Except there wasn't a concept of camping yet so it would have been worse.
I agree with OP. One week is a knee-jerk reaction. When is that ever considered good? If it's truly required and the server has the population to support a split then that's fine, but you can't know within one week for something like this.
