The owners of the server put a cap on the amount of players that could log on at once and everyone would have to wait in a queue. Players could buy a pass to skip the queue and be first to join. If Era implemented this it could add to their revenue by selling queue skip passes for gralats or itunes.
Even if Era was advertised, it unlikely that millions of players would all join at once. Right now we don’t even know the max amount of players that the server can handle. So IMO too many players wouldn’t be a long term problem.
I'm not an expert on technological matters, but I remember the server starting to lag more than usual when about 5000 people logged on for a free Event Coin a year or two ago. So, I'd say that the current server can handle 7000 or 8000 people at once until your average user faces severe connection issues.
