Yeah depends what kind of sweet spot you're talking about ;). I'd probably say 12-14 is pretty sweet performance wise, and we don't ever do any servers over 20 slots. More than than probably 18 they start to deteriorate slowly, but having said that they're also easier to keep going number of players on server wise, as often 10/12 slot servers fluctuate too much in player numbers actually on server.
