Night fights would probably be smaller, but that also has its advantages (provides pace change, etc).
That's not a lot, especially if the game were free-to-play. I think that easily 2000+ people would play PS1 if it were free.

you need 2 pop locks per faction minimum. If every faction has 1 lock and some change there will only always be 1 big 3-way which was PS at its worst, and it will not retain players. In order to play the global game and have a good changing world you need each faction to have multiple locks, better promoting 2-way fights.
I'm all for getting PS1 down to a $5 sub (or F2P, but sub would be beter), but you will need 5000+ people playing actively for it last beyond a month.
