They should have put only a few servers then slowly add more as the population grows.  Instead they put them all on and the result is very bad.   You either have FULL servers with queues or ghost town servers...

I don't know... at peak hours all the servers are maxed for Destruction, or at least on high population, and the Order is from medium to high.  I don't see how they could have any less servers really.  I do agree, though, that at certain hours of the day every server is at low population.

If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

No, see, people are to blame here.  When everyone chooses to play on five servers because they like the name better, it's no one's fault but their own.  Mythic even cloned the massive servers, allowing people to move to less populated servers and to alleviate the problems.  Guess what no one did.

I think they had a decent number of servers but then they tried the cloning thing and it just didnt' work out since the player base didn't decide to move. Now they have extra servers because of the clones but the original overpopulated servers are still overpopulated.

If they had released fewer servers, you can bet the OP would be here complaining about waiting to get onto his server, and complaining that they should have released more servers.

If you hate ghost towns try to travel to the other race maps, i find that the chaos vs empire maps is usualy the most populated, and i see plenty of characters from the dwarf vs orc and elf maps there.

 Yeah, too many servers. But, that really doesn't bother me.

 I'm really enjoying the game and played some scenarios against other players. Fun. I liked it.

 My only complaints so far is lack of character customization. And this is magnified by the lack of character classes for each race. I wanted so much to be a Witch Hunter but when I got into the game and saw 20 of them running around just in my area and they all looked the same....bleh!

 So off I went to create a Warrior Priest. I saw about 10 of them running around at the start all looking the same. But, not as bad as the horde of Witch Hunters for humans or the horde of Witch Elves for the Dark Elves. For the Gobbos, all the squigs jumping around was heart breaking.

 I think the cutting of classes may have been a mistake or the non-inclusion of more classes was a mistake. Need more character customization.

 But, so far, other than those things listed above, I'm having a blast.

Are you kidding me OP?  Its the middle of the afternoon and I'm already in a 100 person queue on my server.  They didn't release to many people just Didn't Spread out as much as anticipated and even then most servers are Med to High.

You know the reason your seeing so many witch hunters is that you start at the empire race map...

If you dont want to see a bunch of witch hunters fly to the dwarf map or the elf map.

Also you can dye your equipment (pimary and secondary) relativly cheap at every merchant (just about every merchant)

I think they put out too many.   They should have let all desto sides reach max cap and force all desto to wait in queues so more would roll order.

I agree with this...Since this game is mostly about interaction with other players...If you get on a low population server...You will truly not get to experience the true greatness of this game..
