Not a joke.
The current hard cutoff on TOs based on player population is adversely affecting gameplay at this time.
Maybe consider it a reminder that this is something we need now much more than we needed it when TOing was more open.
Something like this is now becoming necessary as many realms are hitting the "maximum size" they can expand to.
It's not just "on my list," there is literally only one thing before it. Once I have the Compact Realms mini-project done, this is the next new feature I'll be implementing.
I'm not sure how much clearer I need to be at this point...?
