Do high population realms have any downsides?
Downside mostly more lag in areas where there are lots of people. Queue time can be long, a few games, i had to wait about 45 mins just to get on the server before they opened up more servers. Aion was kind bad in some places when i played it and it had high population. You get into the major city and had to wait a good amount of time to everything to load. I didnt have much issue with WOW at times but when it did lag, sometimes the other players character wouldnt load on my screen for a few mins. Another downside to high population is that sometimes if you got a lot of people in the same area questing, you end up losing you kills to another player on a quest you are doing (not sure if they changed it, but happen often in Aion, you start attacking something, another player could steal the loot and credit because they attacked it and did more damage just so they can move on) Then there is waiting for spawn times for certain NPC to kill. But these 2 were more so when new game or expansio
