I don't think Desolation have given up. I left last night at about 12:30am UK time and we had some very nice teamwork on the go on the Far Shiverpeaks Borderworld. Just sucks that everything we did is gone overnight. Oh well, nothing we can do but claw some back today
Yeah I don't want to put the key in on that site and have a new account made or something. It'd be nice to hear something from Anet. I followed the instructions on the card (Installing from the disk after moving my downloaded client somewhere else) and got no prompts to input a cd key :/

It is a good idea, but i'm not sure it's possible to gather; even if, i wouldn't completely trust such records, simply because 'uk population' would be based on 'people who logged from uk'.
That would still be helpful though. It'd give an indication of which server will have the most players online at around the same time as yourself etc.
But it'd also be nice to show the PvP/PvE populations also, along with the class/race numbers. (i.e 25% humans, 15% Warriors etc...)
