Guys - I think you are inadvertantly arguing the same thing. On the one
hand - less "new" stuff has been added for 46-. Overcrowding issues aside;
for the majority of us, there is enough "stuff" for 46- to do. Overcrowding
issues aside - there needs to be more "stuff" for 46+ to do. Maybe not
everyone will agree with me on this - but I strongly believe it to be true.

Perhaps if you play the game A LOT (more than I do) and are doing a
second character - you'd like to see new 46- (the been there done that
syndrome) - but in this case - for all practicle you're still a 46+ - cause
you've built a character up.

Now - no one can argue that the servers aren't overcrowded. The
crowding problem affects people of ALL levels. For us 46- this is a
problem. For the 46+ it's a problem. I supposed the only positive might be
people starting new characters in zones like West and East Commons and
probably don't have to worry about getting attacked by Griffens and Giants
like I did when I started my character; but I wouldn't be surprised if the
spots they want to hunt are overcrowded as well.

I think it's kind of silly for people who think "the crowding issue is
worse for my level than others". It reminds me of stupid arguments between
musicians who claim their intsrument is harder to play. To play well - they
all are hard!

There's no easy solution to this. I heard someone propose putting caps
on the server when 1500+ come on. I personally would be damn pissed if I
wanted to play and couldn't get in - regardless of how crowded it is. This
is probably not an acceptable solution.

I hear they are splitting Fennin Ro up. Good for Fennin - but that
doesn't help me. I can see that opening a can of worms. If they do that to
my server - I'd hate to find out a lot of my good friends end up on another
server.

But short of adding a whole slew of new zones (ideally the best
solution) which is impracticle to expect; I really don't see an "ideal"
solution...

Anyway - despite my own two-cents - this thread probably should be
Kabong'd (not much else I can do while waiting for a CAB for a large VB
project to be built)...
