There’s a big ride at 18:00 (UK). The Alpecin-Fenix Ronde van Zwift has 1557 signed up at the moment. And the Ride with Frank Schleck ride has another 410 at the same time. Maybe we could break 28,500 this evening.
Imagine how many riders there would be today if so many people weren’t turned off by the fuzzy screen!

And the German Zwifters would not be locked down by their ISP…

The highest I saw around the same time was 28980.
I was on a work call. What did it get up to?
I didn’t see it get over 29k, but I was riding the Haute Route stage 1 at the time so wasn’t watching closely.

I honestly don’t see what is so awesome about the game being so over crowded. I run an ATV 4K, and with more than 10k people in Watopia, it begins to pause/hiccup about every 2 seconds. It is incredibly irritating. At 15-20k riders, it is down right abysmal.
Zwift was clearly not well designed in the sense that it is not scalable (no multiple instances) to handle the load. Adding a second guest world is just a bandaid as all of the guest worlds are pretty small and user numbers keep climbing. I logged into Richmond yesterday for about 3 min, and then gave up and went back to Watopia. .

Yes.
They should make a second Watopia that’s only accessible at a certain level, like Jungle and AdZ.
Maybe level 15 would be okay.
