4AM on a Tuesday morning.

You work odd hours. Perhaps you live someplace weird. Whatever the reason, you are here, playing PS at 4 am on a tuesday morning, along with 20 or 30 other people. On maps designed for hundreds or thousands.
No matter how awesome prime time is, there will be times when populations are tiny, and the gameplay designed to support thousands will pretty much fail completely when trying to support dozens.
Aside from just abandoning your character for the night and switching to a different server, What can be done about this?
I have a few thoughts.
-As population dwindles, lock down continents for the night(this also serves to protect the land fought over that evening from a one sided 75% pop that happens frequently at these times).
-Taking the first a step further, Have a couple tiny maps that open up, suited for and designed specifically for populations in the sub 100 range.
-Somehow allow players to temporarily move their character to a more active server and play there, or combine the server populations.
