I want to point out that this was the first time we've hit the player cap in the entire time that we've been recording the player count, and our average peak is still down by about 20% from the last time we got close to it.
The player cap is where it is not out of a technical requirement but really more out of making it look less dead around here.
e: We've been recording player count data since February 2017, for clarity.
