When I think about the future of my own efforts, I take that green list with a grain of salt. It may be a sense of accomplishment for
someone who put a lot of work into a server, but for me, it's only a bump on the viewed server list which has no direct contribution
in generating (or keeping) a player population. Respectively, as you notice, both the preferred and standard list have some great dev
work on them,(some of them years), and their position on any list does not set pecedence for player interest. But in the end, it's
that little "pat on the back" that makes a server owner feel good about their work. (until the novelty wears off) :P
