The English PVP shard Bloodiron is really well populated. Trion recently shot themselves in the foot when they upped their server capacities and didn't take that into account in the server load tag, so now even the busiest of servers only say medium, including Icewatch which people have even moving away from because it's too busy.

They also made the server population static. It no longer changes as the population does, they set it permanently to low or medium. Guess they dont like people tracking the server activity.
Dont think they touched the server capacity much though, but the whole thing is stupid because you cant differentiate between the low pop servers that are dead (and at least on NA side there are quite a few of those) and the low pop servers that are actually playable (Gnarlwood and Threesprings for NA examples). What this will do is cause everyone to transfer to the medium ones and the active low pop servers wont get any influx of people and die out.

Icewatch EU had regular queues of up to and sometimes over 200 until they upped the capacities. Meridian and Sanctum are literally full to the brim and it's called medium, it's really silly. All 4 English EU shards are totally playable and have their own communities, and only one is better than low population.
