Some servers are more active than others even after many monthly reincarnations. It's easy to see how active a server is on day 10 in the server browser, but it's impossible on day 1 after a restart. Lots of players like to join on day 1, but without knowledge of which servers are likely to remain active going forward, lots of players join random small servers which will die out after a few days.

The server browser should introduce a feature that tracks servers with a long lineage of active play over multiple restarts so that new players who want to start on day 1 can have more confidence a server will survive to the end game.
