Big Bertha was taken off the top of the list to force people to use other servers. Bertha is on the same connection as the main web site and the forum. All 3 being fully utilized causes them all to lag. Bringing Bertha out of focus lets up on the lag a bit
The redirection idea is a good one and has already been brought up. Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, when last I spoke to TMy about this, it would greatly increase the time it would take to connect to a server and/or affect lag overall also.
When this game engine improves to the point that lag is not an issue and we get bigger and better servers, i'm sure this feature will be looked at again and probably implimented. Till then, work with what we got.
