Hi beloved Community,
yesterday we had a small talk with Roxx on discord about what happens if a server runs into a servercap because of overpopulation:
As we dont have an answer to that yet and players that have friends joining on the 11th are interested in this topic i hope it can be clarified.
Just a small introduction so all the New World people are not getting on their annoying horsed.
New World had hardcaps set especially to a certain amount for gameplay reasons.
Lost Ark uses a channelsystem so it can be expanded till a certain amount on the fly.
What it does mean if its initially set to lets say 20k it can be expanded to 30k or something. Concrete values are related to the hardware specs and server architecture which we dont know.
So the question is still the same:
@Roxx Will it be possible that people can join a server after a time even if it runs into a cap? Highly populated servers will most likely block character creation after a time. Will they open again or do we have to stay put with it and are unable to play open world activites with our friends that join later?
Thanks for all the hard work 
Greetings
Cyler
