The high server population is excellent. It's so nice to have a place to come to play and get the original Vanilla experience. Everything to date is wonderful, and keep up the great work!
On the other hand the population is getting a little carried away. I realize that a new realm, or hardware upgrades, or both, cost money and I have donated. In the meantime before new realms or hardware are available, perhaps it's time to start thinking about a login cap on the server. It's a little insane at peak time, pings anywhere from 2-4 second delay.
The developers and GMs have been open and communicated honestly about everything up until this point. The ping reported by Nostalrius is the only exception I have noted. At peak time with 7k players online and a ping 4-5 seconds, the game reported ping still shows 150ms. Please stop manipulating this number in order to make the server more appealing to the general population, and be honest with this as you have with all other things.
Thanks!
