I'm rather enjoying how I can get pickup groups now, but it's not as good as it should be. Outside peak hours it becomes impossible in many zones. Take lake of ill omen. During peak hours you might have 2, maybe even 3 groups running there. That's not bad. However once you're past about 2am it will drop off to a couple of people soloing.
I guess that's not bad if you only play peak hours, but for those of us in different time zones it's pretty hopeless. I used to really enjoy it on live when there would basically be groups to join at any time of the day. If anything I think the population could do with a bit of an increase.
The idea of starting a new server for those who weren't here at the beginning is flawed. What happens after the server has been running a year or two? Start another one for the new new players? and so on.
I realize halving the population is nice for some things. Lets you camp things that are hard to camp now. I like the idea of not having to fight over camps too, but it hurts grouping too much.
