Those severs won’t fill up because all the players have left due to hackers and nothing is done about it.

Not really true at all…
I think it would be fine. Say three additional servers in each heavily trafficked region. Seems fine - I think no one here actually cares one way or the other.
People here are sensitive to other issues regarding servers tho so they want to incorporate those opinions and arguments in their replies. Those issues as you have already partially witnessed include:
- Server Transfers.
Many people have stuck toon in limbo
PvPers generally don’t want it but PvEers generally do.
People have lost a lot of inventory or progress trying to accomplish a transfer. - Server Wipes (for 3.0 release or periodic)
A few PvPers think it would be a good idea a few do not and almost no PvEers think it would be good. - Server Performance & Load
Server performance under current contract with G-Portal is less than adequate when there are more than about 15 or 20 people on. This makes people beg for using a different company other than G-Portal, splitting current servers or expanding the number of them.
It seems a considerable number of people don’t know what ping is and combined with the fact that FC can’t seem to measure it accurately many people end up on servers that provide poor or even unplayable experiences.
The server packet-frame rate is set to 30 for official servers and a lot of people complain that this is too low and one of the major causes of lag, stutter, and rubber-banding - which of course leads people to want changes or fixes in whatever areas they think is causing such things. - Server Settings
A whole bunch of contention exists over what settings should on or off and what the various values should be set to. There’s as many suggestions and opinions as there are individual players and with very little agreement - even less agreement between PvP and PvE players! - Other Stuff I’m Forgetting
And so on and etc. So while your specific idea likely isn’t a bad one, I guess the longer this thread is active the more of these issues will be interjected into the discussion as if they were related - and of course along with all of the exaggerations which go hand in hand with each.
The last thing I’d want is more displeasure. My thoughts were basically from the frame of reference of my own rather-dormant server presence, and the definitely dormant toons of my friends and cohorts.
However, if you ever get the pleasure of playing on a Day 1 Official server, do take the opportunity. It’s an amazing experience.
That’s the server list bug with 0 pop you’re showing.
Or they were suspended/banned…
Another buddy of mine had his first suspension ever and he’s leaving the game

It sums it up but server merges alone wasn’t an issue - it was execution that failed.
I would be very surprised if funcom launches any conan server in long time - i doubt it will happen even if population will be 2x - there’s still enough servers to keep such population.
Sure wasn’t.
Pretty much this. The entire PC population if doubled in size could fit on every official server on PC currently. Though the vast majority of said players won’t play on those servers.
If the playerbase doubled on Thursday. They could cull another 200-300 servers and still fit everyone.

Yeah and there’s also fact that most of population plays on private servers rather than official.
