The server I currently play on has been out for about 16-17 days, and so far we only have 4 active groups. And in the meantime 7 new servers came out in the NY Time, I think they made a mistake in the first place adding a bunch of servers. I can see why they did this so that new players wouldn't have to compete with players who have been already playing for 1-2 months. But in doing so they created ghost servers...

But it is good they are going to merge servers soon hopefully ones that are close in opening dates
