As a completely new member of this server, I am fiercely opposed to this idea. I too wish I'd discovered this project two years ago when it was new and had the chance to experience it from the beginning. And if I stick it out, or keep track of it, I still may in the future as they'd mentioned starting over from the beginning after Velious is played out.
Maybe I'm the only one, but I personally know that server health is an important aspect of me joining and sticking it out. A buddy launched an EQ emu a few years back with about 12 people playing. I did not participate, since I'd find it boring and stagnant. Even though I wish we'd see over 1000 players here, I enjoy that this is the largest population I've ever played with on an EQ emu yet. It's an attractive feature to new members like myself. Had I heard about the project and saw 75-150 spread across on two servers, I probably would have skipped it.
I'm not saying "don't suggest ideas that I'll disagree with" because the OP has every right to throw out what he thinks would help. What I am saying is that I am not 60, not in TMO, and not worried about losing my top position because of another server opening. I'm a level 12 bard with 100p to my name who does not want to lose half the current population, or join half somewhere else. Lets keep it all under one roof!
