I'm just curious, why is there a new server?
The third server had basically no traffic (I saw max 3 players on it once, normally its empty) so was there any need for a 4th server, given the demand?
Looking at the player stats now, #2 is currently by far the most popular with 29 players.
#1,#3 and the new #4? They have 5,3 and 2 players respectively.
I don't know about you, but unless your working away discovering stuff in silence, but anything around 5 players can be pretty boring. Even then you have the risk of the engine butting out, so you'll be working without power.
I feel like having the new servers is spreading the player base out too much, when in theory if he had only 2 servers (which we had for quite a while) we'd have the popular server with 40-50 odd on peak times, and the less popular server with 20-25 on peak times.
So yeah. Why.
