I wasn't speaking about individual servers always being at the top. It does switch around, sometimes its a TLL server or two or MWLL server or that cracked one you guys are speaking of.

I personally don't look at the server name. I find the one with a high single digit number of players or low double digit. The name of the server doesn't influence my choice. I doubt only a handful of players do the same thing. Players will go where the people are, its human nature.

If there's 3 servers and each are full at 24, if they lowered the numbers to 16 on each that means those players are going to fill in at least 2 and a half more servers. They aren't going to stare at a server screen hitting refresh over and over to get into their favorite server (unless there's buddies there, but then they could just join an empty server).

Besides how many servers does TLL and MWLL? Not all of them are being used 24/7 I know that.

As of writing this there is 124 servers up. Four are test servers for a new version, but only three normal servers are currently being played on. Three out of 120 servers. Granted this isn't peak time but even if it were it would mean there would only be 4 or 5 being played on. That is an issue that needs to be addressed.

This has been the trend post release, once a new patch is out you'll see the population blow up to fill 5 or 6 servers max.  Then it drops back down to 2-3 in the following week or so.

Hopefully the new game mode will encourage more players to stay this next release.

There was a patch that hit relatively recently and I didn't see many more servers being played on since then. I don't know if its because the patch was unfavorable or what (I personally didn't like it at first, now I love it).
