I have always been a fan of change. With the right intent, change can be great.
I remember reading a post along time ago that made mention of "One combined Server". I have spent some cash moving toons and would still openly welcome this change. Then i thought about the why behind them not taking action on this and it lead me to Names rights. Who would be allowed to keep their name if 2 were the same? I wonder how many cases of duplicates exist across servers? With one name you could have more than just a few people forced to change names. With all of that in mind i hope they consider how many more cases adding these slotts might make, thus making it less likeley to happen. i could not quantify the number of people on individual servers but i can tell you it feels like activity levels are down. I would even love the combining into 2 or 3 servers if you wanted to tick off less people.
I realize my post is a little off topic. Just trying to think ahead.
