Not sure that splitting the population would solve the problem, since the damage is done and Red 99 has a scent of failure on it now. It's like Vanguard: great game after they'd fixed all the issues, but their terrible launch and the reputation it earned during that period doomed it forever. I quit with the rest of the 99% of people who tried it, while my close friend stuck it out. He tried for years to convince me "It's fixed, it's better, come try it!". The stench of terrible never left it in my mind, and I never gave it another chance.
Besides, even if you split it evenly down the middle three people on each server would be really boring and you'd never be able to field a full group again.
