i'm not in the game, but you said you wanted prospective players' opinions as well, so!! obviously, you guys know your own limits best, and i haven't yet seen/experienced this game's pace myself... as someone who's modded in the past, i don't want you guys to bend over backwards trying to accomodate everybody and stretch yourselves too thin, because that's just not fun for anyone.
i personally think the 60 or 65-player cap is the best, though, just because it gives the game room to grow and thus won't ward away anyone looking at the game. like i mentioned in christy's plurk, i've been locket out of games i was otherwise interested in joining because of strict player caps, and i know other people that have been likewise put off of games because of that. blocking new blood from flowing into your game never feels like a good option to me. that said, taking on so many people you can no longer manage the game or provide opportunities for any player is obviously no good either... so i think a moderate-to-high cap would be best, since it accomodates the needs of both mods and players.
thanks for being such cool and attentive mods so far, though. you guys seem really great from the outside where i'm standing!
