Has it ever occurred to Blizz that some of us WANT an overpopulated mega-server?

My main argument is that they have the capability to run at 15k, but would rather have 10k people in queue while only 5k people play. That makes absolutely no sense, especially to people that enjoy that high pop like myself.

Reading Kaivax’s post earlier:

@Kaivax

While we are able to fit several times more players on a single realm in 2019 than was the case in 2006, we are not going to raise that cap any further, even though we have the technical capacity to do so. Raising realm caps would simply forestall the problem, letting more players in at launch but creating an unsustainable situation down the line, with severe queues when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2 of our content unlock plan.

Please also note that our realm population estimates of Low, Medium, High, and Full are based on this increased capacity – a Medium realm today already has more characters on it than even the most crowded realms did back in 2006.

I see nothing to indicate that once layering is turned off, they’ll only be letting 5K players on a realm at a time.
In fact it seems to say just the opposite.
People are panicking based purely on speculation.

Good luck and I hope you get the game experience that you want.

That means at launch there will be people in que regardless if there is layering or not, because they dont wanna make it a problem after they take off layering. Then why even have layering at that point…
