Admin Announcement: Full server, what now?

[kuth]

maybe only have npc's spawning in a certain zone around bases (like asteroid spawn only in certain areas)
in the short term, i recommend that there is a limit on no of players that can be in any one system (20?). so if your a lolwut capzor and you last docked in NY, you have to play other chars instead.
simples

What if I am not a lolwut capzor and last docked in NY? Because my character's ZoI lies in a high trafficed area I don't ge to play? Sure, that sounds perfectly fair.

As for reducing the NPCs/other enviromental stuff to reduce lag and thus be able to increase the number of players.

While I would love the server to be able to allow more than 200 people on at once, I don't want to sacrifice the game environment just to have more people online. Whats the point of playing with a ton of people when the environment is empty?

To be honest, the only idea I have liked is to install a server password. One that is only obtainable by a member of this forum. This would free us of a lot of the lolwuts that don't know the rules and prevent those that don't care for our rules and such from logging on and taking up a slot when an actual Disco player is trying to get on.
