As you alluded to, it's not about the numbers, it's about the players. 90%+ of the people online at any given time are min/maxing everything in the game, not just running around socializing like back in live.

On top of the insanely high numbers of tryhards who are camping every mob, you have tons of people using red wood wands now, so a lot of the places that could have supported a group or a couple solo classes are now owned by a single person with wands.

There's very little about the current green experience that feels classic, and it doesn't make sense that they split the servers at launch for the same reasons, but after the merge, apparently the reason they split in the first place is no longer good enough.
