Yes, beating a dead horse, but I'm just curious. How many is in Cyro when u get a locked icon and must queue?
Plus, knowing how many can help make better judgement around the map...
100? 200? 500??

Ahtu✭✭✭✭On Sunday night in Vicec, EP had 4 AP groups, my group, SOTP, Dracarys, and Tyr all running at the same time. That's around 135 people if I had to make an estimate. The question is how many small groups and solo players were on at the time?Edited by Ahtu on March 19, 2019 2:42PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Lock icon appears at 90% capacity, that's the only thing ZOS has ever confirmed since the early days when they would speak about numbers.
In theory if you wanted to know real numbers you could try to get 100-200 people on the PTS and join a campaign in groups of 5 to see at what points bars change, however that would require a lot of dedication and organisation.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

hey Ahtu! yes i'm in ur group Sunday night too.
yes, if I have to guess-timate, it's about 150 per faction. those "all EP come to Arius/BRK!!" nights, I can see visually around a total of 100 per faction, give or take.August Palatine Davadin Bloodstrake - Nord Dragon Knight - PC NA - Gray Host

✭✭Last time I checked(read it somewhere) the population lock is 150 per alliance.
Now I can't find the source.
Maybe @ZOS_BrianWheeler can answer this question so it will be less vague.Some videos I recorded for fun: Main character:
PC EU main: Universe - AD magicka Sorcerer, Former Emperor, Grand Overlord, The Merciless, Trial Bosses Solo Champion
Top alts: Genius(stamina/sagicka Dragonknight) The Force(stamina Nightblade) and other chars.

✭✭✭✭✭What would be interesting is to know what the cap was originally compared to now. We used to fill up two campaigns with a much higher cap than we have now. Zos has lowered the cap at least twice.0 -

dunno where that is, but in PC NA Vivec,
EP runs around the map crushing any beer can on their forehead
DC patrols their keeps for any suspicious beer can
AD zerg patrols the whole map as a single absolute unit for a beer can. they never find it. but they destroys any keep on their path.August Palatine Davadin Bloodstrake - Nord Dragon Knight - PC NA - Gray Host

It is very unlikely ZoS will ever answer this question. They made vague claims/estimations about the population cap before the launch of the game, and anyway you look at it stating the current pop cap will hurt their image. It would give a way to quantify the decline in the games server performance, and some customers will feel mislead.- Mojican3 -
dtsharples✭✭✭✭✭Definitely Manny.
The reason they won't release numbers is because the decline is very, very real - and that's not good for image.
I presume that the numbers have halved at least.
There was a time when you could be in a group and not recognise any of the names of people in said group.
Now it's impossible to walk a few meters without seeing a name that you know and recognise.
The PVP community is tiny now.2 -
Karivaa✭✭✭✭✭They have been decreasing the cap lock over the years to help with lag. I miss the days when all of the compaigns are full. There aren’t many of us OG’s left.0

Alomar✭✭✭✭✭In Beta we were informed that it was 1800 total, 600 per faction, at launch. Since then there has been several stated decreases along with ninja/secretive decreases that has brought that total significantly down. Zos specifically has not and will not give official numbers of where they were now, as it is extremely embarrassing for them considering how much better performance was with 1800 at launch compared to what it is now with a fraction of that.Haxus Council Member

I suppose now we have 250 max per faction
