you wish
Same thing happened when the game launched, not enough servers to all the people playing the firsts days, once the hype is over, you will se tons of servers empty but somehow filled with buildings and blocked paths.
Noticed that too so I ended up renting my own server honestly unless someone is tight on funds or dont have a set group to play with I recommend that anyway. You might want to get a good feel before just diving in to PVP.
There’s also the fact it’s still in early access. They could have simply indeed underestimated how many people would get it while it was still only in early access VS how many people might end up waiting for the official “full” release.
Or expected people to “beta test” it primarily on private servers/etc at first
There’s a lot of possibilities to be honest I suspect.
