Frankly, I WANT a high population server. Sure, you run a higher percentage of idiots, but I mainly play MMOs to play/talk with other people. I can always ignore the idiots.
Looking forward to getting to play (albeit very sporadically) over the next few days. I have rehearsal two nights this week and we're leaving for Ohio on Saturday, so I won't be able to play as much as I'd like, unfortunately.
The best part so far was logging in, saying hi in general chat, and immediately finding Harren, who recognized my name. Trill found Soltanus later on. It's awesome seeing people I know.
