If anything is siphoning anyone from other freelancer servers, its the official discoverygc server. Not because it's better, but simply because it has the highest population. Herding instinct. That's really what kept the official server running with high population for the past decade. People were always here for the high population, and not for how the server was run, and not for the "quality" of the population either.
EDIT: Come to think of it, there are occasionally people as described in the first paragraph who pop up on the low population servers, but if the admins let them stay there, they tend to kill off the server activity withing a few months (thinking of Doj's stay on Disco UK, and Vicious on disco PTC).

I'm still playing the Discovery mod, because I love Freelancer, not because I love the official/GC Server where my bad experiences have outnumbered my good experiences.Not all the PVP whores I've encountered have been pirates. I was once killed by a Liberty Navy lolwut because I was hauling criminal pilots (silly me -- I thought that bounty hunting was legal) -- probably a friend of Jayce, if not one of his alts.
