Freedom and virtue are there when you want to be around a lot of players, however with that many people, the quality of player can be hit or miss. While each server of course has great players, Pinnacle, champion, and guardian would probably be the next big three in terms of quality. someone said there was a server called protector or something, not sure if that's true.

Champion tends to have smaller populations of the "middle group" of server populations. Not too high but not too low either.
It's got a solid core of knowledgable players who run great events. BMT has some offically running each day, and unofficially there are many more TF, Trials, Tips and other teams started on its global channels.
It's know as the mead and pie server to some. And it's known as the drama server to others. It gets a thumbs up from me.
There is a good summation of the servers here...

I think some of it is out of date. But most seems pretty spot on. Also, BEFORE you move your folks anywhere, go there and play a bit at peak times first. Virtue has some HARD CORE RP'rs out there. I went there once and swore never again! I was skeered a bit. Ok, a LOT!

I don't mean this in as a snub, as Champion is my 'home server,' but it is very hard to consider it a 'community' server. Most folks have their set social circles, so a newcomer must take initiative to be found. Once they do, though, people are generally helpful.|

It also has quite a few 'powergamers,' but of the pleasant variety, (In most cases) as well as plenty of badge hunters. There are regularly scheduled events around, for hamidon raids, mothership raids, and task forces. It's also very blue-leaning.

Yeah, I'm sure people play hammered on all the servers, but Pinnacle's natives took the Drunk Server designation and ran with it. |

Ironically, I'm still a Pinnacle native and almost never drink anymore....

So you might want to keep a couple characters on other servers so you can still play during unexpected server crashes.
I guess Ill step in a give a shoot out for my home server of infinity. As I understand it its the highest population server of what is called the midlevel servers, lower then Freedumb (Freedom) and Land of Virtual cat girls (Virtue) but sill a nice high population that insures a team just about any time of day.
Personally I find Infinity to be by far the friendliest most adult server, by adult I mean maturity of ones actions and behavior in a community.

Vicious rumor and calumny. Nothing to see here, move along. Protector is a fable, a golden myth, where the players are for the most part helpful and friendly. Like Shangri La, but better XP. Legend says the inhabitants are wont to whimsy at times. But, of course, it is all a dream, drifting away on the harsh winds of reality...

No mention of Jerk Hackers dupin' rares for the Justice Server?!? Inconceivable!!
That said, Justice likes to flirt with being the 3rd most populated and is full of the most unique kind of crazy you'll ever find online. Lots of fun and new-player friendly

Always see Infinity as being just behind Virtue and Freedom in server load.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

+1. I started there and finally came back since I had no room on my other servers and wanted to come back for kicks. It also helped I have an idea for a themed SG and had to have 5 specific names and I couldn't get them all on my other servers. It is a lower pop server, but if you are willing to wait a bit longer on building teams, it does tend to be a nice server to play on. PuG teams are rather difficult to come by, so I mostly do TFs there and level that way.|

Justice seems to be the server to go to if you want to do super teams.
Freedom is NYC warts and all.
Virtue is a more sane depending on how you view RPing and how much you seek it out, but not that much of a drop off in numbers. I have seen Virtue be red while Freedom is yellow.
Freedom is my main server, but I spend most of my time on Virtue, or Victory these days.
