You're assuming that more areas means more people will spread out. It will just be more areas around the overworld that people visit once and forget about. Snow Town, Nimda island, MoD, York Town... yes, there are players there but new areas won't do anything for the massive lag. Why? Because massive lag is from people idling in Graal City. Guess what? They'll still be idling there in Graal City even if there were 50 other areas on the gmap.

Players don't congregate to useless areas just because it's there.
