I think there should be a fortnightly juggle between UC/Hosted/Classic tabs.
The system whereby you spend lots of moneys, sweat for months to make a kickass server, only for unix to say "osorry, classic's all full up with crap-on-a-stick servers that only get around 10 players peak time so you can't get a chance" is rubbish. It should be that, if your server passes the PWA, it goes to hosted. If it manages to get a playerbase of like 20, then it goes on the classic tab in place of a classic server that hasn't had a high playerbase as of late. That classic server goes to hosted.
The new server gets two weeks in which to prove whether it can keep that playerbase or whether it was just a "lets all go see this new server for a few days" playerbase. If it can keep this playerbase for two weeks, it stays on classic tab. If it doesn't keep it, then after two weeks it gets replaced by either another new hosted server with high playerbase, or possibly that old classic server that's somehow managed to get its PB back up.
And that system goes on every two weeks, lalalala.
Edit: Possibly the reason we see everyone crammed onto two servers at the top of the list is that it is the only server that comes close to their needs, and all the other ones suck major donkeys. Surely there should be more of a variation for players to choose from, rather than unix saying "sorry, no dice. Bonjour." |
