think about it this way: if there are 3 new ones on each server then there are 9 after the merge... and in addition all the higher f2p players will start from scratch as well and some old ones decided to do it too - so you' won't be alone in the "low" levels and there will be even more people that are lower than you're now ;-)

you could create a survey "will you reset your char? yes(reckless), yes(f2p), no, undecided" then you'd get at least a small hint with how many you're going to level up ;-)
