Well what I've noticed is that when I log in, the server list is almost ranked in order of current user population. The ranking is violated only by putting the server you most recently logged out of the top of the list. |

I've noticed this logging in and out over time. It seems that the middle of the list does change in order from hour to hour even though I do nothing to interact with any of those servers in the middle of this. So, I think, what determines the ranking order is usage. The ranking starts at the top, excluding the one you've just interacted with most recently, and goes from least used to most heavily used. And over time you see that the least used servers occasionally shuffle a bit but remain close to the top of the list over time. And the most heavily used ones tend to stay towards the bottom.
That's how I assume the ranking logic works behind the scenes.

It's been Zukunft ever since the list merge.
It has not moved from it's position under Pinnacle yet.

The drunk server pinning down the German server? ICH WILL EIN BIER!
... ok, haven't tried german in over a decade, but that should be close enough.

Nicely done.
Well, I created a character on the German server, just so I could have a toon on each server and as far as I could tell, I was the only on there. Granted it was late at night and the other Germans would have been sleeping.
Uber Talgrim - level 50 emp/dark defender
Uber Rod - level 50 dark melee/regen scrapper
Rod Valdr - level 50 invuln/SS tanker
Talgrim - level 50 ninja/dark mastermind
OMG!! Please add these costume designs now!

Actually, the further up the server is on the list (except for the top 'last visited' server), the lower it's population. It's why servers like Virtue and Freedom are always down at the bottom because they're the most populated.
