I don't know if it is really a big playerbase on the fifth day all of a sudden or if it's just a handfull of players creating loads of accounts to DOS the channels, but you have to address it. At least make it known that you are investigating the issue please

Easy solution actually. Disconnect Vagrants or any other character after a certain amount of AFK time. I cant stand the look of 200 vagrants just being there in flaris in every single channel.

I bet they have the same capacity of space as last year, just split it around more channels

I don't think the number of players are more than last FWC, my bet is they add more channel but did not increase server capacity.
