Re: Population of this server compared to other free servers
It's true
"1958, White Wilderness. The film depicts an incidence of mass suicide by lemmings.
The filmmakers were completely responsible for the deaths of the lemmings filmed. They captured a few dozen, used “the magic of Disney” to make it seem like more, and then chased the lemmings off the cliff. Presented in “documentary” form, the lemmings mass suicide myth has persisted, despite considerable evidence to the contrary. Fortunately, in most cases, animal rights groups would not permit such an instance of animal cruelty to be perpetuated today. "
Look it up

"What people see is essentially mass dispersal," said zoologist Gordon Jarrell, an expert in small mammals with the University of Alaska Fairbanks. "Sometimes it's pretty directional. The classic example is in the Scandinavian mountains, where (lemmings) have been dramatically observed. They will come to a body of water and be temporarily stopped, and eventually they'll build up along the shore so dense and they will swim across. If they get wet to the skin, they 're essentially dead."

You might be right about the staged Disney thing and lemmings not having suicidal compulsions, but I'd still argue they are colossally stupid and have been known to end up killing themselves due to that fact.

Re: Population of this server compared to other free servers
I think the only problem of "racism" in this shard is that people from all over the world dont' have the same definition of words. It's cultural. N.gg.r seems to be a forbidden racist word in USA. But in Europa this is not a racist word and people can use it most freely (depends of the context of course).
Maybe that's why some people are chocked and makes a 10 pages thread to complain about it when a few players are using this word in the game without bad intentions. I agree that a big thread "STOP RACISM IN UOSA" is a bad advertisment for this shard ...
But actually I never saw real racism in this shard, so you can come play here without worring about it !
And I just want to add that dispite the fact we have less players than other big shards, we have a lot of quality, intelligent and creative players: cA guild !
