Why we should increase the amount of players on nations Back

i think we should increase the amount of players permitted on nations so we can have more sieges resulting in more action which will attract more players to our sever.. it will also be more fun instead of waiting ages in the queue we could have more players on nations if we decrease or even get rid off towny as there is normally 3 people on there when there is 90 available players I would make this max 20 if not lower.

The number of slots on a server is an arbitrary number. I could set the slots on Towny to 1 million - or even 10 million - and it would have no effect on lag. Why? Because they merely determine how many players can join. An empty server with millions of slots is no different than an empty server with one slot, because both are processing the same amount of work. So the idea of "transferring" player slots from Towny to Nations does not make sense.

The reason why Nations has a low player cap is because allowing more players online would worsen lag and make PvP impossible. It struggles handling 90 players as is - it cannot process any more. The solution is to either optimize the server software and plugins (and this often means compromising on gameplay, like reducing the render distance or mob spawns), or upgrade the server's hardware. We have already exhausted most of our options to optimize the server, so our next step will be to hopefully move the server to a machine with a more powerful CPU.

i dont see any issues for limit on players in nations. it actually makes sense a lot, plus u should appreciate hard work of staff and also giving you attention that most servers dont even come close of amount ccnet staff is giving. u are getting perfect server but still keep asking for more. and about limit making sense, if you are in siege (main point of nations), for example 10v10 battle, and suddenly u see 40 enemies joining at the same time and coming there, i dont think u would accept that. server wont increase number bc u dont wanna wait in hub for a few minutes. appreciate other peoples work (staff atm), and be greatful for what u have right now. also staff said not once that server isnt trying to be popular and full of players. 90 limit is legendary and logical decision

It should be 100, as most queues dont go over 10 and not every1 has donor to do the queue 5 times due to random kicks

Higher amount of player in means higher lag. When staff can reduce lag and increase performance you will see an increase in allowed players
