The realm

How many people may be in the world at once, and the switch that closes it. A player already inside is never turned away — going home, through a door, or back after their connection drops. Only someone arriving is told the realm is full, in the words below, and when to try again.

Right now

Open or closed

The realm is open

When it closes, the people inside get minutes before every place closes.

Who may come in

At most people in the world at once

0 means no cap. 40 is the most the box has been measured carrying well; raise it on the evidence of the capacity chart on Players, not before.

New players Welcome — anyone may make an account Not now — sign-ups are refused; everyone with an account still gets in

What they're told

When the realm is full When it is closed Once, to everyone inside, as it starts closing

Try again after seconds

Today's app shows its own "the realm is full" line; these words reach players with the next app update.

The process rail

How many places (Area processes) may run at once — a safety net behind the cap. Leave it empty to keep the server's own setting. It should be at least the cap plus eight: everyone inside may need their home running beside the Village and the open places.
