After the recent additions of Osgiliath and Edoras to Empire War V2, I have noticed that the server has become a lot more active; there have been quite a few occasions when there have been 24 players on the server, restricting me (and probably others) from joining the server at these active times.
Due to this, I believe that the server player limit should be at least doubled to 48 players, not only to satisfy waiting players when the server is full, but also to encourage the server's continued growth.
However, I do not know how much RAM the server has allocated to it - if the player limit is in fact increased, there should be enough RAM to prevent excessive lag on the server. Obviously if sufficient RAM for 48 players cannot be reached, then the server player limit should at least be increased to the limit that the current RAM has - I remember reading something on the Empire War forum recently detailing the fact that the server's RAM can deal with a lot more than 24 players, and the limit was only set in accordance to the server's playerbase. Clearly this policy is now outdated, and the limit should be increased.
