I like how anyone who has an opinion other than that of ST123's obviously doesn't know anything or doesn't read.
With populations down so low, why on earth would you want to add yet another server to further split things up? The reason I don't play on DT, is not because I am afraid of all the level 275's, it's because I don't like PK. If a new PK server rolled out that put everyone on an equal footing, I still wouldn't go there. Plus, it would take about a week for a few fellows of hardcore macroers to out level the majority of the playing field, and you'd end up with the exact same situation you have on DT now, just on a somewhat smaller scale.
I'd like to add something, but since Cryme has really said it all, all I'll say is this: Ditto.
Especially the part about "I don't like PK."

It might make more sense to add an attack modifier to DT, say a +/- of 1 level between 5-10, and a +/- of 5 levels, between level 10-200, then everyone is fair game. This would also stop the 'noob' jumping.
Just my 2 cents.

the server merging is a moot point. its been discussed over and over and over again and what people dont understand is that because of the way they built AC to begin with, they'd never be able to merge servers.

qft
a) 2 days or a couple of weeks is simply not enough time to show what the long-term population would be. For two days *I* would play a new PK server! Low level continuous battles would be hysterical! Longer view would see me soon enough being back on my traditional white server and I suspect you'd see the same pattern around the subscriber base.
b) Cryme makes an excellent point about the population levels. Splitting a low population level of existing players between two different servers means you are running twice the equipment for the same number of players and incoming dollars.
I however, stand ready to have my mind changed.
Simply explain how a new additional server and the maintenance associated with it will be justified in terms of
- new players and
- new incoming dollars

You are looking over the one major fact that makes this pointless: That it is simply not going to happen.
How do you think this is going to happen?
Why do you continue to spend the precious hours of your life on this matter?
Do you sincerely think that they are going to read this post and say, "Oh, SoulTaker123 made a fine post. Check this out Frelorn! I never thought of it that way man, yeah, let's do this!"
That is the way your psychology is working and it is silly. You can have trouble finding a fight on Darktide during certain hours of the day, what makes you think it is appropriate to open another whole server/world? YOU are just looking at the benefits. YOU can't see why this won't work because you are thinking selfishly.
What about all the people who have a job/wife/kids/mortgage and worked so hard to level up on Darktide? Do you think they will be able to fork out the time to hack it on this new server? Because money won't do them any good, they can't buy an account on the new server.
I just wanted to do your thinking for you on this one. Take care.

I thought about this the other day, and this is what i came up with.
Clear verdantine ( sorry VT'ers ) make it a red server while blocking decal.
So it's a true hardcore server.
