Oh wow I just read that PQ is capped at 1,200 players via it's agreement with Daybreak? That's wild
I think that has the opposite effect. People will go harder knowing there's a limit.

My friend used to own a restaurant in Los Angeles. He would pay people to stand in line to generate interest in the restaurant. It worked like gangbusters.

Think you're missing my point. Why would I want to play on a server if I'm going to be limited in logging in because of a player count cap. Think the cap will only serve over time to reduce PQ population to consistently below the cap...that's obviously the goal and intent of Daybreak in imposing it.

Presumably its just a cap on the number of people active on the server at any given time, which 1200 would be pretty healthy and probably in line with how they size live servers.

It is pretty ironic though to have the potential for forced scarcity in a project made almost specificly to eliminate scarcity of anything in the game entirely.

Doesn't PQ also have an inactivity timer that logs you out after some period?

I think I read they're turning bazaar accounts into standard accounts as well.
