The server capacity is locked to something below 5k Players since i am sitting in queue eventough less than 5K are playing atm (according to steam charts)
Thats a silly small number for such a silly huge map with gigantic destered filler space and only a few locations of interest.
Thats a big Ooooofff
I assume the root of the problem is that, while they have huge map, players start in 1) fab, 2) tindrem or 3) meduli. Those nodes are crowded af, but rest of the cities are medium population at best, ever seen anyone at toxai?
So, when they gave people the power to decide where they start, they unintionally made a bad decision, as most new players ask "what town is good to start at as new player after haven?" and they all get Fab as an answer. So now we the entire population within few cities, which mostlikely causes most of the issues.
If anyone of you actually believed the game could have those promised numbers of players online at the same time, you should had known better.
