Population cap in zones. Good or bad?

[Warfare80]

1. Would it reduce lagg in the zone?
2. Would it spread the action to more zones = less megazergs?
3. Would it ruin the chance to push for fortress?
4. Would it split up WBs/friends and force them into different zones and missing the fun with playing together?

I dont know if is even possible to do this,and maybe it is a stupid idea.
What do you guys think about this,good and bad things?

I can summarize your question to : " Make OPEN RvR > CLOSED RvR good?"

It is a question ofc. But going this way open some questions about consequencies :

- Would you agree to wait to join your friends/guild/premade to enter a zone because pop is capped?
- If your warband had some needs of a specific class, would you leave the zone to let another player enter it ? Would it assure your warband to find this precise class?
- Would closed RvR be as fun as open rvr ?

you are right yali, the people must learn, if more zones are open, it is better to spread out instead they all fight in one zone , multiple zone attacks are better as just in one zone, that is the solution. and this solution the palyers must learn

Good points,keep em coming!

There are already zones with capped/controlled population.

They are called Scenarios.

I don't know how you'd gate populations from oRvR zones aside from altering the AAO systen maybe to reward more even populations. I don't know how it could be done, but I don't think it would be wrong to say that a 100 vs 100 oRvR zone is a lot more fun and rewarding to fight through than 150 vs 50.
