The odds are slim and Shaun will prolly do the same but ICC has a idea going around about dragon eggs
You go girl! *sterotpyical girl clicking triangle here* EMC has no need for any more servers. You should probably expect more when American holidays finish though. Also, 9 and 8 were released together.
There's still a decent number of open residences spread across the servers, and I'd imagine there's a good number on the derelict policy that can be unclaimed as well. Also, the server's aren't full very much at the moment, so there isn't much need for an SMP10 yet in my opinion.
No, there will not be an Smp10 unless all 540 slots (60x9 = 540) become filled at once all the time. Atleast, I hope not. The players are too spread out on each server, and we don't see many new players on SMP3 anymore. Alot of old timers left to SMP9 or 8 and there are usually about 16 players online at a time on the classic servers, making smp2 a ghost town. There's no going back now, because if Justin deletes smp4+ then we'll have an even bigger drop in players and alot of people raging on at Justin.
