Well, i tried to start a new thread specifically about servers 1-10, but got prematurely closed as being redundant to this thread. That makes no sense, but I will toss some more info in here, in case anybody is still following this thread.

Server 9 guild wars is DEAD. Each realm is owned by one guild. There are no guild wars, aside from friend guilds to generate rewards. There are very strong players in each realm. We are all sitting there doing absolutely nothing. How extremely boring. Compared to 70, it is a completely different game. Now that we own our realm on 9, there's nothing left to do but keep running labs and slowly powering up for no reason.

As they relate to server 9, I've not understood any of the objections to opening cross-realm wars. If something isn't done soon, everybody is just going to quit. Many already have. This is an easy fix that would bring new life to the server and not require any radical new content.
