Meant to add this in an edit:

An unfortunate part of not having a green/legend server is that merely having the status invites more players. It wasn't until VTZ got green status that it became large. When I helped work on it, it had roughly around 10-20 solid players (incl. boxers). Soon after VTZ got green status, the community size tripled. (In no way am I bashing them for this! I'm just stating that this is something to keep in mind.) You know what would be cool? If there was an automated system that controlled server status. It's duty would be to watch the up-time/player population and determine itself if these servers meet the standards of a legendary/green server. For a month, the server will have this status and if it falls or degrades in up-time/player population then it will be demoted until proven worthy once more at the end of said month. This would probably be a difficult system to create but it's not worth throwing out considering everyone would have a chance.
