200+ to US is a blessing, don't bother asking for better
on the DLC population, this is to be expected.
I joined BF 3 after it became $5, the population boomed during this sale and I enjoyed the stock maps thoroughly (it became a Metro fest)
The same issue will happen when SA comes out, Locker will have more pop than Metro 2, this is EA's fault for separating the community in the hopes of earning extra $
My guess is one of these DLC's will become free eventually same like how CQC ended up being free for standard members and those maps get filled up easily.
+1
1. Most Asia server have less DLC map because less user in Asia willing paying twice the price for not so benefits premium services, and future DLC that you unplayable now.
2. Buying one by one DLC certainly not worthy as Premium, so user rather go for Premium. But then things repeat in 1.
3. For Pre-order User who get 1st DLC free, when 2nd DLC comes out, you will want to buy it, but because of 2, in the end, you will not getting a Premium or DLC. (Plus you will feel waste to buy premium with DLC 1 free because of Asian thinking

)
4. Because of 1,2 and 3, you only see very FEW DLC map in Asia that always full, and the rest is either empty or too few user who have DLC / Premium to join. Soon, the less joined Server will gone back to Original Map.
All of these issue will fix when Premium on-sales, but thats only happen when all the DLCs release......which about the time the next BF title announces
Conclusion: Pretty sad for Asia BF players who need some times to fully enjoy DLCs map
