Please write out the entire infrastructure both client and server side for this, I mean it is so simple after all, you should be able to do it in your next reply, pastebin if you need more room :> Sorry to break it to the "Omg SE fail this is supposed to be an MMO blah blah" people but every MMO that exists has population caps, that is the 'channel' system, the ones that don't have population caps you're usually flooded with RMT or people hanging around town asking how to mine for fish - Basically just clutter more than actual gameplay benefits.

Even XI instituted population caps, 712 people per zone - Besieged was the biggest time it happened and that was 2006, I'm pretty sure XI still runs today.
