actually: why not put it on the battle servers???
Siege ( at least for NA) suffers from low pop (or being completely empty...) most of the time, and instead of scaring off the last siege players with a half-baked new game mode, by testing it on the battle servers it would drive some folks from battle to siege.
And once conquest is in better shape - own server.
Your first statement is the exact wrong thing to do imo, and its kinda what they did, they used a server more populated\used over one that isn't ( idk about you , but i loved NA siege, its my goto mode, i havent actually played CRPG for a bit, im waiting for this to get fixed )
I know it would have been harder to completely build the server from the ground up rather then piggyback off of Siege, but imo, they shoulda used the Rageball server.
I fully and 100% agree...Conquest should have its own server...i miss straight up siege, and its the reason i left. No fun playing regular siege, then jumping into a mode that lasts 20 mins, then the next round the other team doesn't even spawn.
Whats even more frustrating is crossing your fingers hoping to jump into regular siege,,,and getting stuck with 20 min of x1....then not spawning the next round
I miss CRPG, but to much Battle\DTV gets boring for me, i always found Siege the most intense exciting mode
