A possible compromise solution might be to delist RP and RP Overflow from the hub, leave them on the wiki, and set an extremely high, redirecting cap on main at something resembling 80 players, with a soft-limit at 60-70 that consists of some big text in the vein of "HEY BUDDY THERE'S AN OVERFLOW SERVER YOU PROBABLY WONT GET ANYTHING BUT ASSISTANT HERE PLAY ON OVERFLOW." Combine that with adding another overflow server and you have 3 servers at a maximum of 80 each, more than enough to handle even the highest of high pop. Plus, by delisting RP and RPO, you can both stop drive-by griefers and ensure that players there have at least enough experience to know the wiki exists.

holy fuck this post looks bad sorry in advance im very rambly right now
