Reduce Playerlimit to 12 at TAW

Since lowering the max player count from 32 to 22 clearly scared away the frequent players without attracting any new ones, the obvious next step is to reduce it even further — maybe if we cap it at 12 players per match, the masses will finally come flooding in.

DarkBlueDiamond, i'm pretty sure this is a troll post, and zini is actually saying we should revert it to 32.

maybe im wrong idk.. it does seem to just be the same one room thing but smaller now

I wouldn't expect 22 player rooms to "attract" many more new players directly; whatever positive effect it has would be in the form of retaining more players, and in particular players who are invested in the outcome of games and like to have a larger influence over games.

That is a much more subtle effect than annoying those who are dead-set on 32 player rooms, so what is "clearly" true might not be actually true.
