Currently the least active server is winning the
server poll, but at the same time the majority of users voted for one of the more active servers. Because of that, I'm holding this poll to get a feel for just how many people actually want to play on the least active server and how people will react if told that the least active server is the one we all should play on. Depending on the outcome of this poll, I might re-create the first poll and have everyone vote again.
Most users who posted in the poll thread with their reason why they chose the least active server stated their reason as being they don't want to pick a server that is going to fill up. While that could be a valid concern for not picking the most active server, it doesn't mean we need to go to the least active server to completely avoid such a scenario. It's very unlikely that both the first and second servers will both become full and even less likely that the first 3 servers will all fill up.
Picking a more active server does come with advantages. While accounts may be easier to create and will lead to more foreigners playing, it can still be beneficial to have the chance to play with the locals if needed. Major concerns would be the wide variety of time zones that English speakers play in and the lack of interest most people seem to have in playing the roles of healers and tanks.
