They can’t even effectively handle a wars with 50 vs 50, how are they going to handle even more players in an area? The servers already die if too many players are in one territory…
Would like to see such changes, too. 
+1 and adopt BDO server layout.

This aged Well 
How would zone instancing work with pvp and seeing players from other factions running to your fort? I feel like that would cause a lot of issues if you can’t see certain people in a game that relies so heavily on player interactions.
yes please raise cap to higher amount
Seems they forgot about “the team is working hard on expanding server capacity”.

No don’t increase server cap, i have to compete with players to gather resources as it is and if there is even more competition it’s not going to be fun.
We need a bigger map before an increase occurs. 4 more places and I need those horses to come out already.

the max pop should be higher, for the sake of providing more population to recruit from etc.
Map size has nothing to do with it, a population that’s good for PVE and Crafting will always be bad for PVP and a population that’s big enough for PVP will always be dab for PVE and crafting (bigger world means more players are needed for fill it for PVP, too)
AGS should just introduce cross-server pvp. It’s a magic world, just say enemys from a parallel dimension try to cross through a portal. That way the game can pool all pvp-players across the servers and at the same time keep population at a level that won’t disrupt PVE.
It’s funny, the game Nightingale has the perfect setup for this kind of PVP but says it will be a PVE-game. I wonder if they looked at the state of NewWorlds PVP ahead of that decision?
This is the way
There are already not enough ressources for 2k people… how can you oversee something simple like that and demand a cap increase? holy shit.

With so many PvEers flagged for the luck bonus this could create a model where PvP-flagged PvEers could just swarm servers going after resources without actually intending to PvP at all.
Well, the idea to pay people to flag is bullsh*t to begin with. The sooner AGS stops this and takes better measures to get real PVP-players together, the better!

I agreed with 6000 per server, but they have to do mirrors as other MMO projects did. That definitely solves the problem.
More Slots for Bots. Goldsellers will love this Idea.
2000 is way too low for sure
Increasing by 3X from 2k to 6k may be a bit drastic.
It would be best for them to increase it gradually to see how the server performance as well as user approval responds. Probably by 1k pop at a time at least 2 weeks apart…
Either way, Amazon Game Studios created a great game here and there’s plenty for them to continue improving, adding, and expanding. Not going to act entitled to receive anything instantly. Much respect to the dev team. Most people don’t understand the amount of knowledge, effort, and time a game like this takes to develop.
Is there an update on this? I still feel 2k people is a bit low for an MMO
