As much as it pains me to think about it, there will probably come a day when a good portion of lower level zones are fairly empty. It happens in most MMOs eventually. Given enough time, eventually you will see less and less new subscribers and alts leveling. Sure, there will be some, but nothing compared to the massive amount of people you see doing hearts and dynamic events in these zones today…

So I suggest the Underflow server option, the opposite of the Overflow server. Basically, if you enter into a world zone where the total zone population for your server is lower than a pre-determined number, you get a popup asking if you would like to be moved to a underflow server that combines players in that zone from many servers together. Of course, you could always choose to stay put and deal with having less help in events, etc.

I would like to see this post get more traction. It is a great idea and I would guess easy for ANet to implement since they have a similar system for overflow.

I think it’s a good idea and the main system is already in place to make this possible. I don’t think the world is quite empty enough (maybe if you’re in a low population realm).

I think we’re all still used to the way things were at launch with huge groups of people moving about but it’s settling down now and I just see the occasional person wandering around which isn’t a bad thing. There’s still enough activity about and enough people doing events in general.

I’m pretty sure they’ve probably already thought of this.

Brilliant! Do it, do it, do it! We kind of need this already, anyway. All MMOs do, eventually.
