Isn't it time to start merging realms aggressively?

I keep seeing all the realms I've been into in the past saying "we're dead, bring players". It appears the trend has become almost a majority, or at least the numbers of realms in that situation are a LOT.

I suggest to take all those realms and merge them, in couples or even more.

With some effort in latency technologies and new machines people use it should be good to go.

And more fun for everyone.
