Elysium and Anathema are simply too similar to coexist. Both 1x xp, both PvP and only one raid tier apart. What worked on Feenix for example (before Nostalrius) was to have one high rate xp server (warsong) and one blizzlike 1x server (Emerald Dream). Naxx was out on Warsong, but the server still kept going for years before it died. Some people would probably start playing on Anathema if it had higher xp rates just to try out different classes and raid AQ/Naxx right away. And some people hate levelling a lot, they might roll here as well. People really need some incentives to roll on Anathema instead of Elysium. Otherwise noone's gonna bother with a 2 months levelling grind just to end up on a declining server. At this point Anathema doesn't rly have much to lose tbh, might as well give it a try. If it doesn't work, so be it, nothing lost compared to now. We desperately need new players/fresh blood on the server. Merging both servers is not rly a valid option anymore. Anathema won't last another year at this rate and that's how long it would take Elysium to catch up (at least). So my advice is: Announce the Naxx release, increase XP rates (3-7x, sth around that), do a couple of hyped up double xp weekend events. With a decent Naxx release lots of players will wanna see it now instead of waiting another 1-1.5 years for it on Elysium. You just have to make it easy for them.
