they may slow down with the new servers in the new year ... but that is a maybe i i dont know the plans of the guys that make the decicions .
Thing to keep in mind tho. with the servermerges coming during the next month ... dont expext things to get better fast. many ppl opose server merges and will leave servers after merges whatwill put down the amontof players there again and fill up the newer servers.
That at least i can tell you from many many other onlinegames ... best is toplay on an activeserver and stay there starting on newer servers most times results in soon to be dead servers that get merged and then die out completely
