There are 3 servers. Players count on them fluctuate depending on time of the day. Sometime on one server there are more people, other time more people are on next server and so on.

Part of people who see it, switch to server where are more people at the moment with a hope that it will be more easy to find a team with "auto matching system".

 

While main meaning of having 3 servers is primarily to conserve its resources by decreasing crowd, we dont have currently that high comunity to scatter them across 3 servers.

 

Dividing players betwin 3 servers seems to not help anything at current server load's,

except unnecesarily decreasing chance of finding team and increasing "low players count" effect.

 

Looks like not a bad try could be

 

- rename servers to something neutral that not suggest zones.

- temporarly disable 2 servers to gather all available players together on one server

(until we get larger community)

 

Gathering all players on one server

may improve chance of finding team by "team matching" system. 

 

It also

- does not require any work from developers,

- save game staff from additional server maintenance costs and work.

- can be done temporarly as a "test" and reversed when required (eg. community count increase)

The servers are placed in different places to remove lag, in beta many complained about no games with server in Australia, HCS promised to make a server in Australia (oceanic). People in Australia would otherwise lag harder than other players because they are so far away from UK.

I checked it and... you right. It seems to look like this.
