Ok, we’re here to breakdown the question and answer,
Why do we assume Laima server will be overcrowded?
Most answer you get from people picking Laima are:
“It’s first on the list”
“I can click login right away”
“I think other people will go to the first server” - Which back to the loop.
But does that explain why, when all other servers offer the same benefit to you?
Psychology calls it 'The Primacy Effect’
I will quote from Wiki:
The primacy effect, in psychology and sociology, is a cognitive bias that results in a subject recalling primary information presented better than information presented later on. For example, a subject who reads a sufficiently long list of words is more likely to remember words toward the beginning than words in the middle.
Better understanding, given a list of items to remember, we will tend to remember the first few things more than those things in the middle. We also tend to assume that items at the beginning of the list are of greater importance or significance.
When apply to a list of words, a research show that,
Memory is sensitive to order. People are more likely to recall words (or any information) from a list when they encounter them toward the beginning or toward the end of the list, a phenomenon first described in 1913 by Hermann Ebbinghaus.

There are two separate effects of order: “Primacy,” in which people pay more attention to the first thing they read or hear, and “Recency,” in which people are (surprise!) better able to remember more recent information.
This does not always affect decision making, but it will influence them.
Well that’s enough for knowledge, now we know WHY. Let’s talk about, is crowded server = quality server?
Is China = US? They has more population?
Certainly not,
So if I go to a high-pop-server, I’m a part of the mainstream people who mostly follow ‘The Primacy Effect’ which is already explained, “the effect that make you pick decision without thinking”.
This doesn’t mean you are not a thoughtful person, but you will be a part of them and interact with them. More or less, they will influence you.
Let’s be more specific,
Who don’t have to think about what server to pick? Bots
Who will get more benefit entering a crowded server? Gold Sellers
Not to forget young people…or should I say 'kids’ who have no social skill and easy rage over internet. You will see them mostly there.
And the most obvious issue when you play on a high-pop server is Lag and difficult to manage.
“I don’t see any good thing o_O”
Well don’t let those stop you from picking Laima, because if you can ignore all that, you can still have a quality time, as high-pop server will offer the most Diversity and ‘man power’.
You will always find a party member or a class you prefer to play with. You will have many guild mates, and new friends. So why not?
And…that’s all I can answer the question from my knowing, what about yours? What do you think?
I hope I didn’t bored you with my long text. This is just CBT, just play what you like and with who you can relax with.
See you guys in-game and thanks for reading.
