I was pretty sure it wasn't the server but we tried several things including wiping (and restoring) character files which wouldn't work. Our server should be able to handle 500+ players flawlessly (It has handled 200 before with less than 0.80 load). However the server was under no load at the time (it is a 32 core 4 socket E5 Xeon server with 1TB of ram on a 10Gbps connection). Some blamed the server itself, because it would really be obvious when the server was populated. I have *sort of* popular 7D2D server and we had some players having issues when trying to join the server at certain times.
