Mirage is - or close to - running cap instances on Day 1 of a new releases while many have yet to get one level. Pace has defeated the point of the legendary servers for the many of us. Yes, there is pop boom when new content is released, due imo to an influx of those with capped players on the regular servers who come to get titles and/or re-experience the good ol days and never intended to stay. Following the pop booms tho has been a continuously declining population of stayers many of whom have worked out that if they want to enjoy content on level they are better off doing it on a regular server in a stone of tortoise kin on the regular servers as Cipher said and left to do this. It may also be noteworthy many of those who visit for cap content stated they don't plan to continue to do this once Rohan comes so the true population won't be known until some weeks after Rohan releases.
