Might be better for raiders who want less contested camps, but it would be shit for everyone else.

You got to account for other details that would occur with a new server starting up.

How many new people would come knowing a new server was starting? How many old players would come back knowing they had a chance to start fresh again? How many established players on the old P99 server would go?

So many other pieces to the equation you have to consider other than the assumption a new server would lessen the total population of all servers involved.

No way in knowing that either, exactly how many would split from one to a new server...

I think it's more complicated than just saying, "New server = less populated server = bad EQ for all."
