for sake of playability, please cap number of people in a zone at a time

e.g. when Behemoth or Odin spawn, practically the whole server runs over to participate, resulting in amazing lag. tons of people disconnect, you can't see anything, everybody dies, and you can't return, you just get stuck in limbo. So please, cap the number of people that can enter the zone. Not everyone may get to participate, but at least the people who are there can actually play.

Nah this sounds bad. Might as well just put them in DF if you go this route.

i just teleported to dragonhead to do some company leves not knowing Behemoth had spawned now i cant even log into the game.

it might be a little disjoining to not be able to enter the area, but they clearly want this to be a many person fight, so putting it in the DF won't work.

We're lucky as it is on Hyperion that the server doesn't go down- there were probably like 10 times more people than the zone can support.

Of course, it might not quite the cataclysmic event that it's being if it wasn't so rare. if it just appeared more often you wouldn't see quite as large of a horde of people chasing after it.

I just wanted some Spruce logs, now I cannot play because all these "super smart" peopled rushed over to fail at Behemoth.

for sake of playability, please uncap number of people in a zone at a time

Yeah, I'm sure many players miss 1017 so much that they want it to apply to individual zones instead of whole servers.

You'd still be able to log in, you simply wouldn't be able to zone into the area while the fate is in progress.

As it stands right now though, good luck logging in if you logged in that area when behemoth pops, because the lag will be so bad you won't get in (which is what happened to me after I died to behemoth and tried to return)

SE will make your wish come true, but you can never participate.

Corrupt a wish thread!?

Or just cap the number of summoners that can ruin a fate for everyone.
