    Pop cap

    - A maximum limit has been placed on the number of players who can be in one area.
    * If you attempt to move into an area which has already reached its maximum limit, you will receive a message saying you cannot enter that area. Should this happen, please wait awhile and try again.

    Thoughts? Will this affect whole zone or just a small part of it?

    If the whole zone, expect big trouble entering Coerthas...

    I doubt there is a way to code in areas of the zone to have population caps. I'm sure it means the entire zone. It's a lazy fix imo.

    Ugh, I hope enough people complain and they do away with this. Now instead of people complaining about Odin/Behemoth phasing out it will be people complaining about not even getting a chance to fight Odin/Behemoth or being unable to enter the zone for a quest or getting dismounted from chocobo porter early because the route passes through a capped zone.

    The problem will be like if you logged off at Coerthas, and try to come back in...and probably can't because of the limit? I wonder how many times do I have to try though.

    a worthless fix which will just infuriate people now we will see people in main cities shouting for things and being silenced by the Gil seller spam that has yet to be fixed

    Seems like a band-aid until they figure out a real solution to the problem. Shutting down entire zones is not good design and hopefully they're aware of that. However, it's better than the server blowing up from too many people in one place.

    this is MEGA BAD!

    make different instances of the zones if you need to rather then just saying no.....
