Increasing the cap won't solve anything, it's only going to make matters worse for those who actually play (see that vanilla server racking in 11k players but with 300+ ms and 1-1.5 second delay) So noty.
Options:
- Donators skip queue, reduce cap limit so it won't go over an acceptable cap (cap reduced to 9k, donor cap won't reach 10-10.5k). In time, with enough donations from this (hopefully), upgrade hardware and raise cap.
- Scrap a realm, put a Lordaeron-clone instead with a lower cap, free transfers to it.
- (Risky) Ask for help. There has to be some server owner out there willing to host a server, get thousands of players and get a % of donations.
