In theory...
But if you slap up 4-5 classic style worlds, they will get maybe 10 players on average tops. Different servers ARE needed. You can't just make a classic world with "awesome" levels and nothing new to offer, and expect it to get 70 players on average. The current classic servers have high playercounts because they've built a community. When most people log on and look at the classic list, they go to one of the servers with the most players. That's really all there is to it.
I mentioned to Stefan a long time ago that he should set up something like either he makes it so the playerworld list is randomly shuffled, not sorted by number of players... or that he makes some sort of "graal world map" that displays all of the servers on the map as icons, all on the screen at once. Then you just click on the icon to join. It wouldn't show the playercount unless maybe when you mouse over it or something.
Basically the only way you're going to pull players away from the high playercount servers is to either make a new playerworld with lots of interesting stuff, or make it so it doesn't sort the high playercount servers to the top of the list.
