List of servers is useless

[Opinion]

There are 18 servers, 16 of which are not populated. To an extent when there are 5 people in a realm and that's it. 2 of the most populated ones either have a queue or, my favorite - they are just "full", meaning you won't be even placed in a queue, you would be just dropped into a random server, without even telling you where. Who the hell would like that? Just place me into a god damn queue for as long as you want, instead of forcing me to check constantly for that "crowded" status. I am not staying in a desolate emptiness. Why have so many empty servers at all if people obviously prefer to stick to the most populated ones? Because guess what, when we play an MMO, we expect to have that "massively-multiplayer" part in it, not 5 lost people and 20 afk shop bots. And introduce a real player count to the servers god damn it, it has been a QoL update that was asked for years ago. Should we all jump between them manually to check how many players are in them? Get yourself 4 big good servers instead of a shit ton of filler that no one is using, what the hell.

The empty servers stay for the same reason the bazaar is staying. Discords

Please tell me why there is US West 1, 2, and 4 when NO ONE is in any of them…and totally agree about the full realm queue. JUST PUT ME IN QUEUE 😭. One realm per region is enough, there will still be plenty of empty ones for discords and stuff

Welcome to fluctuations in the servers.

I main USW as my standard, but also hit USE and EUW because of concentration of players for keys or Oryx, or because they are more regional to guildmates.

It’s fairly recent that the merching server moved around again, as USW2 or 4 had taken over at times from 3 after it was removed.

Additional server shutdowns aren’t going to provide any immediate benefit to the game, and would only harm if/when there is an influx again.

There have been periods during the holidays where 3-4 servers are running near full, and you have a wide distribution across many of the others with 2-4 realms spawning in several of them.

Edit: USW2 and USE2 were removed, not 3.
