In an effort to allow everyone the opportunity to experience as much content as possible we've decided to lower the maximum players in raid content to 42 for any new content that is released in the future. Please note that this will not have an impact on the player caps for existing content. They will remain the same as they are now. We will be monitoring this change going forward and undertaking any needed balance changes that become necessary.
As always our goal is to have a game that's both challenging and fun for everyone, and believe this change will be a move in the right direction. Thanks for continuing to provide the feedback and support to make EverQuest the best game it can be.
