Hi,
I have a few friends everyday that log onto ICC and have to wait a 3 - 5 hour queue to get into the server.
I think ICC should extend the server by 1000 - 2000 players. I think the server should upgrade to 14,000-15,000 player slots.
Benefits: More players and looks better for the server.
Cons: Have to get more R.A.M for the server and maybe space.
Increasing the population cap will increase the latency to the server due to bandwidth limits and processing power. Has very little to do with 'just RAM'. It's not feasible for us to increase the population at this time.
Also,
DO NOT POST SUGGESTIONS THAT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING
Increase/Decrease realm population cap - Our realm caps are set at a specific number, optimized for their current capability of maintaining stability. We will adjust these as needed on our own. Suggestions regarding this are not necessary.
