Community will be much bigger, so the more servers the better; let anyone pick their flavor, just take a look at GTA V's and SAMP's community. Plenty of servers to choose from. Some bad, some good. Some empty, some with over 500 people at once. Some more hardcore, others more light and action-focused.
To direct everyone to one or two selected servers ruled by one single individual whose motives might be questionable at best (Paid horses and armors, anyone?) is pure cancer.
Best of luck, and don't run your server like a dictatorship.
