I would like to ask Anet a few questions concerning the population of this new map.
* I understand it is an overflow but are these overflow only populated with the 3 servers facing each other? Or is there a chance of us encountering and fighting other players from all 24 servers.
* What is the population cap to these maps?

side note: I would much rather see this map being an open brawl type map where there are NO Gates or siege weapon. nearly all servers except for the top 4 on NA will have atleast 1 map that has no queue or very little population. If they want to take down gates and capture a keep/tower/camp, they can always hop to those maps.

What you could add are open objectives where people run around and capture objective without having to deal with gates.

We don’t discuss population numbers as company policy. The first question is something we are going to be deciding based on the testing we will be doing. It is our initial design that the map is restricted to worlds from the same matchups, but we will evaluate that as we progress through the testing process to determine if that is the best version.
