TL;DR version below
There are many reasons why using a normal server would be better than using a mega server. Most clans I have seen uses mega servers and this seems like a fun and cool idea. More people = more tactics and more fun gameplay. Really this is not the case.
Server Size When it comes down to mega servers, there is one tactic that will always when no matter what side you’re on. Some people call it server flooding. It’s when you find a mega server with the least amount of people and flood it. This leaves the defending side helpless because no matter how skilled you are, you cannot face off against 25 guys at once.
A smaller server keeps this down to minimum. Sure you can server flood but defenders would rather fight a 5v13 (18 Server Size) rather than a 5 vs 25 (30 Mega Server)
Gameplay When it comes to gameplay, smaller servers produce the best overall gameplay experience. Most people think bigger is better but some servers just don’t fit that. People think that if you have a mega server it will provide a more tactical gameplay but so far I have yet to see the case. Most of it is just two sides running for a single check point sort of like Territory Conquest but in the perspective of the soldiers and not the commander.
Small servers I think provide the best teamwork and tactical gameplay. You work closely with a small group of people who you’ll have to get along with if you wish to win. While training WIJ I used a mega server and a normal server. In the mega server it was just WIJ running at eachother trying to kill one another even when I added an objective.
When I used a normal server where it was a 7v7 the gameplay changed drastically, it when from a chaotic 2 horse smashing contest to a more teamwork oriented gameplay style.
Performance So far smaller servers have the best performance over mega servers. Not because people with slow computers or because of Roblox, just clans don’t know how to optimize their scripts. So far most clans use recolored free models that lag during a 8v8. This usually makes mega servers impossible to play for most people.
When clans can produce better performance out of their scripts and people start getting better computers I think mega servers will be the new thing.
More Raids: So far most clans don’t raid mega servers because they can’t muster of enough members to raid. You may think (They should get active) but without groups raiding you, your clan will fall inactive as well. You want people to raid you and to do that you need to make it easier for them to do so. Not by making your base easier but by making it so raiding is possible.
Small servers will allow for people not affiliated with any group to grab a few friends to raid your clan. Or allow a group that can rally up 10 guys to raid you without worrying about being overwhelmed. Small servers allow for quick raids which will appeal to more people.
This is just a few reasons why I think smaller servers are better than mega servers for clan battles. If you agree or disagree post your reply and or reason below.
TL;DR
Less Server Flooding More tactical and teamwork gameplay Better performance More Raids

| I never lagged at the first Tza base. We had a lot of fun there, too. 15v15s are real fun and you're always shooting someone. That's just me though. |

Finally, someone with influence actually notices this.
Hopefully it'll catch on. |
