wmuntz, considering that your request was sent over a year ago; today (and if you're reading this), I would challenge the assumption that most people play BfN.
I have just at this moment (Saturday) come from a full board on the European server, and, when the time difference allows, I find both the East and West Coast servers just as full up as here in Europe...... and consistently so. Actually, the West Coast server is full up from their afternoon on and way past midnight.
Admittedly I'm playing on an XBox console but would expect that the PS consoles are just as full up. However, as regards playing on a PC I'm more doubtful, but as that platform has never been as popular as the consoles, even before BfN, I wouldn't put much hope in a change in its popularity.
