The server order, however, is sorted by the number of players logged on.
I could be mistaken though.
It does seem odd though.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
It always looks like that for me - except for the background color

and here I was thinking you were talking about Vigilance being at the top, which is simply because that was the last server the OP logged into

Justice isn't even in the frame.

That's hardly suprising with that background |

Scroll up?
I think the point is that he had to scroll down in order to see the most-populated servers, and that load/population seems to have nothing to do with server order as evidenced by heavy-load Freedom being between medium-loads Infinity and Virtue.
I'm just guessing and not even thinking about it very hard. For all I know there's no point trying to be made here at all.

That's what I was thinking. Logically, shouldn't they be ordered by population, excepting the last-logged-into server at the top?

If I had things my way there'd be a separator between your last-visited server (labeled as such, too) and the list, and the list would have a Load heading and a Name heading. Clicking either would toggle ascending/descending sort based on that column. Default sort would be descending load. Maybe it could even remember the last way you sorted the list.|

Not like it's important. Just the way I think it should work.
They should put flags beside them for the language, otherwise people might think that Vigilance is the free-to-play server

Yeah that's about it. I thought it was odd that a more populated server would have lower load.

Server-order is at least partially determined by what server you last logged in to.

The dot's represent load, not population. The dev's have said one person, doing the wrong thing in the wrong place, can significantly up the load on a server. They unfortunatly won't tell us what or where though. |

I'd personally hide all serves except Union from the list.
Since, y'know, that's the one I play on. The others are just something to sometimes mis-click on for me...

Maybe cause (just random guess here) AE uses more resources then normal game content and freedom atlas is constantly filled with plers and farmers using it compared to virtue or any other server for that matter. I could be way off but who knows.

I wouldn't call that unfortunate. I'd prefer the griefer types not have a trick for increasing server load.

I think that's a fair assessment. Everyone on Freedom is PLing in AE, but everyone on Virtue is standing around and just chatting in Pocket D. |

That means that if lesbian catgirl farmers ever evolved, they would crash any server they appeared on.

Very interesting server order. I wonder how that happens.
