How about trying to give people on underpopulated nodes a priority in Q first?

[Tashka]

Because from what FarmerJoe said, the reason for server capping is overcrowded nodes that affect the whole of mainland. Give people on underpopulated nodes a priority. Will help more people to get in while motivating players currently staying in Meduli/fab/tind to spread out more to get that sweet sweet priority queue. I don't really know how your server works and it's probably a worthless suggestion but hey also maybe you didn't think of it and i'm smart and awesome like that.

The high server load is still there, even if players were let on the lesser crowded nodes. Resources and services of each town need to be redone, to attract players to be more spread around the map. If everything that one needs are close to the most popular cities - that's where the players will be.
