"Implementation of a population cap for each field"??

[Gamina]

I can't see a population cap of an entire region working especially in a place like Coerthas where you have people afk idling for FATEs yet so much integral story line stuff going on as well. The EG community shouting in Mor Dhona could put a real slow down on anyone needing to get into the area for story cs and quests for example. Will be interesting to see how this feature pans out.

I'd rather say Free Company members

Which reminds me that the suggestion I sent included both party and the FC members, it's just not a good idea to forcefully separate them.

i enjoy this game, and play during off peak hours. but man... of this is a zone cap, the amount of shitstorm that's gonna follow is gonna be unstoppable

[Moktor]

If they have overflow/instanced zones this will be a good... no, GREAT thing. However, with all the other lazy decisions I have seen in this game I would imagine they will instead simply lock the zone out. With the way FATEs work, that will again cripple things.

[Yshnal]

I'm not a big fan of zone channels, to be honest. The fact that if we're in an area we'll be seeing everyone that is there is what makes me not mind the instancing of the world. It feels a bit more alive and not just a lobby.

As the issue is with culling on Behemoth and Odin fates, I sincerely hope that what they mean with a zone cap is that there will be a cap on the amount of people that can come near said fates at any given moment, at least until less people needs/wants to do said fates for the equipment. Or at least that the zone cap is just for those servers that were crashing because of everyone going into the same zone (and that would mean that it would be a pretty big cap).

Expecting shouts like "Leave the area if you cannot kill Odin/Behemoth!!!!!!!!!!1111"

They could just upgrade their servers to handle the stress from the Fates instead of punishing players for doing what's intended.
