He's absolutely right though. Just because they are making new servers doesn't mean more people will start on yours or any other. In reality, if they know how these games work, they are waiting for a new server. Hence, if none ever show, you lose a massive amount of players, popularity, income, etc...

On the note of server merges they will address the situation when they need to. You and I don't have access to stats telling just how many people log in daily to each server. They will start to merge when they have to but for now the big concern is just having enough content to entertain people. If you look through forums there are threads everywhere asking for this, that and the other while still demanding for new content. I'm sure even you would agree that it would be easier to just fix little things and add new content while adding new servers rather than trying to do all that while merging servers.

Plus, yes, we get quite a few cross server events going forward from what we have seen in other regions.

You make several very fair points. I think the big thing is like you said though it's still too early to tell in most cases. The big thing, I think, is that the game has only been out for nearly two months. This means two things: First, the popularity of it is likely only going to rise. Most people don't find out about games like these until they are several months in and have a lot to do, likewise some players wait for this because they know they will get bored easily. Then second, like I feel we both touched upon and building on the first, they want to stabilize the game in its core aspects to make sure it has enough content to keep players interested. So far they have taken most things we, as a community, have been asking for and I trust their decision making. That's why I think the server population issues aren't going to be as big for this game because they are actually tackling the issues head on, right as we note them. Just my two cents.
