correct me if im wrong, but wasn't the population increasing before the global got taken off? so its pretty pointless to bring growth into the argument.

Well actually its not any sort of "...well...." and to use a word like correlation would have been correct had you used it correctly. I would say that there is a correlation for higher numbers but not a causation. And its probably too soon to tell how many people will quit due to not being able to use the functions in game that global was such a crutch for in the first place. If the population continues to rise, obviously the removal of global channels was not a poor choice as the amount of incoming exceeds the amount of outgoing.
For a more personal example, when I joined the server and saw channels were global I thought "eh its ok" but when I referred several friends and they saw the channels were global they were actually turned off. When I told them the goal was to eventually have the global chat removed - they said "ok i'll bite" so in a lot of ways a lot of people wanted that.
