There are plenty of people on my so called "small" server. I never have trouble finding groups. When CH8 was released the other day a lot of the servers reached medium status which shows there are a lot more active accounts than 20k.
They dropped the thresholds after the NGE to make it appear more busy that it was.
I dont beleive anyone can say there are plenty of people on any server, there may be enough to get by.
Some servers IE 1 or 2 are doing ok from server transfers from other smaller galaxies, but i think every server is hemoraging players faster than they are being replaced.
As for populations on a chapter day, these are missleading readings.
On a chapter day some people may resub to have a look around at the new content, people with station passes who now play EQ, VG or what ever else will log on to make sure they have their chapter rewards etc etc.
These numbers soon dissapear again after a few days as they go back to where ever it is they usually preffer to be.
And then of course you have the posters that play, the people that for the most part play very little of the game but the forums come chapter day they move inforce upon any new content to prove their l33t worthness and blitz any new content as fast as possible for not only backslapping and bragging rights but so they can get back to the safe grounds of the forums wher ethey can feel self important and all l33ty.
