Admin Announcement: Full server, what now?

[joshua_cox]

I like the idea of having the two parts of Sirius as two servers, but wouldn't that still cause problems? Hypothetically, here's a scenario:

You and a group of friends are part of a newly formed traders faction, running a huge haul of weapons, silver and cardamine from Liberty to the Outer Systems. As you exit Liberty and head to the Border Worlds, a message pops up that you're nearing the edge of the server. Thinking little of it, you fly to the jump hole, and jump through. Your friends come out. You don't. Guess what? This server is full.

Now, I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to running servers, but it seems to me that a scenario like this could happen and have large and small impacts, both on fun-factor, and that you might have been under escort by several fighters. Now, without those fighters, you have to make it through dangerous space alone. First of all, is this scenario possible? Second of all, I would like to say I do support the two server idea to increase player limit (Screw you ANZLAG, I want to have fun!), but I'm wary of the above scenario happening.
