Lack of low populated battle servers

There used to be pecores, nordmen, eu4 and the melee server.

Now it's just EU1 and night time only EU4 (which is not fun to play on).
Is it just me or is anyone else missing the old times when there where more servers people played on?

I'd rather there was only one NA and one EU battle server.  I'd like to see more 70 v 70 battles, and 100 vs 100 battles.

To me, it's just not nearly as fun when it's 20v20 or 10v10.

Not everyone likes large clusters.

I like 40 and 60 player max servers(save siege which i don't care the numbers unless defender).

And I don't know why, if the servers and our computers could handle it, I'd love to see 200 vs 200 battles, or even 500 vs 500 on open fields.

I can understand why people like low populated servers because the battles tend to be more intimate. The lower the population, the more epic fights get because you can actually focus on 1 or two people and not have to worry about anything else. Whereas in a higher population, you can roleplay as a lawn mower and cut people down left and right, the only distraction being the mass amount of chaos around you.

In NA I remember having servers like Tunatown or haven, which I do indeed miss, but don't really need right now. As far as new player/peasant integration goes, I'd rather have everyone condensed in the few servers we have available now so the new guys can see how a multitude of good guys play.

Siege seems more fun right now. EU1 is usually too crowded with ranged and cav. It gets so frustrating at times.

Need some nice maps made especially for ~30 people, instead of the "usual random big location with X areas of interest" - EU4 have some OK maps but personally I'm really missing some specific maps that's made for minor skirmishes. Sort of similar to the CTF maps that once were, e.g. 2 pretty much equal bases relatively close to each other with a main area in-between for the clashes. I'd say the size of the native arenas is appropriate (as on the melee server, if they're still there) - but with objects on etc.

If anyone know of some please post though. We would like to populate the Nordmen server with better suited maps.

EU_4 is almost always populated, I never play on EU_1, because I dont have to. Pecores is populated once in a while as well.

I think people stopped playing on Nordmen because the server was not updated and they had removed banner balance; thereby making it a shitty version of EU_4.

The game tends to be sluggish everywhere except on pecores for me, but there are players there once in a blue moon.

I suggest people join Pecores instead of EU4 (unless you like night time and no banner balance).

Autobalance is fucked up, whoever is on the pecores team gets a constant 1x on EU_Pecores.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
