But thinking about it, you'd pretty much have to lock that server so that no newer players could join to keep the competition level equal - so it'd have to be enough players to make the extra server worth it. Not sure how that would work.

i got your point, and understand your reasoning.
we are focused on fixing things, and keeping everyone together
