Most high volume servers will drop to medium at that time. I should be able to get a free x-fer, right?

I don’t think that’s exactly how that works.

Hmm that would be too easy I guess.

so the pump up free x-fer to medium servers and that is a total of 3 of them.

All high tier servers stay at very high 24/7.

Hey – lets imagine up the way they calculate the population, just like we did yesterday with all the gold seller hacking servers to create money and legendary items conversation.

I think that the obvious was that Anet must calculate population would be to count keystrokes echoed to a server per minute, divide that by the number of players logged in during that minute, apply that to a weighting derrived from the average ration of logged in time per account on that server, multiply that by 1.125 (for overhead) and set its population each 24 hours or weekly based on the sum of those minute by minute calculations against an arbitary lookup table with defined population bands.

Or they could just look at average server load from a technical POV and accordingly apply a population based on how thrashed it gets… but that seems to easy and accurate to be viable…

Feeling bad due to my response does not mean it was a personal attack.
It may just be that your original statement was wrong.
Please try again.

So why would anyone really move off a high pop server to be honest.

They should give the med-low a free x-fer to whatever the lowest of the high (if you can make sense of that)..

Just merge then is what I am saying

The lower the population servers are advantageous (after a point of economic viability) to Anet, not least of all to spread the sources of that lag out.

Its not about stuffing the population together for the player experience – its about levelling out resources for the client/server design to be more stable.
