Suggestion about Virtue stability issue

Seems to be lately Virtue has a lot of problems.Server instability,crashes, doors wont work etc... These are normal after an issue as great as issue 17 but
seems like Virtue is the ( in some peoples opinion) busiest server.
Some people say its because of having so many people we crash..
here goes my suggestion to fix it.
Break up Virtue into two servers ( east Virtue West Virtue) using one of the other servers which is not as populated.
this can be good for two reasons
1- gives population to both servers
2- helps instability
there are some problems:
1-what if 1/2 my sg or globals end up in virtue west/east?
quick fix: you can choose which server to go to after you pick character
Ie
you pick Captain Ac\xl and then you pick virtue west or east like you do for picking pocket d instances...
2- it will confuse people like when you change area codes
sure at first but the long term win is server stability...
Just trying to help
i am open to hearing other suggestions..

Except we've been having stability issues unconnected with population stress. Lowering population wouldn't give us a stable server.

I think that the server is just about worn out. Maybe it's time to upgrade it like they did for Freedom awhile back.

They need to replace it with a new server and dump the hunk of junk we've been stuck with. Seems like even when the game was new that Virtue was always going down while the others were still up.

I'm up for anything that improves stability and playtime.

If anything they should be merging servers, not creating more low-population environments to play in.

@Dysc, on virtue:
Virtue blues: Overnight (DP/MM), Kid Ridiculous (FC/rad), Panorama (Ill/time)
Virtue reds: Block Party (SS/SD), Goldcrush (earth/fire), Deadwire (claws/elec), Snowcrush (ice/kin)

Maybe merge some of the smaller ones, but Virtue and Freedom are fine on their own. Also, don't they all get upgraded at once when hardware upgrades get passed around? At the very least, I think Virtue is second in line for hardware upgrades, being the second most populated server.

Besides, if they did that, I can almost guarantee that only /one/ of those servers would get picked and would become the new Virtue. I mean...they can do that now. Just go to another server. What's basically being suggested is a server rename. I don't see the advantage.

And devs don't work on servers. Devs = software developers. I can almost guarantee it's a hardware issue (for the simple fact that all the servers /should/ have the same software).

Solution: replace the hardware.

Oooor....if we're going for that server rename thing...swap out. Put the Virtue toons on a different (more reliable) server and put /that/ server's toons on Virtue, then rename both.

Voila. It's someone else's problem.

Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?

Not sure if this is spicifically a virtue issue, but I've been running into several "BOSS DISPLAYNAME" named bossess in missions on virtue. Seems there's a database issue as well.
