It may support 4x the normal retail population, but it does so by sacrificing things like draw distance. It's a problem I see every day.
I am a newer player and very appreciative of the work that has been done here. In my opinion, having up to 10K players on a single server isn't what I would view as beneficial. It's like a pack of zerglings flooding over every single quest objective. It is very unblizzlike and doesn't really emulate the feel of retail Vanilla in my opinion.
If the population was carved in half, I think that would be a preferable thing. Of course, I would imagine that would cost money/additional support. I am curious what the leaders of this project think about this and if they do want a more Blizzlike feel, how much of a monetary (or other) contribution would they require from us in order to achieve it?
Or perhaps it's too early in the lifecycle of Nostalrius and maybe natural attrition may occur (new retail expansion, players getting their vanilla nostalgia fill) where a solution isn't required in the longer term horizon.
