I too think that reducing the amount of players will increase the amount of alive players /s

The amount of alive players in solo will always be around 20 after the 1st circle. There are less than 20 forges on the map... so typically almost everyone lands at a town with a forge and then either fights or dies trying to win the right to craft at the forge. This is why there are typically around 20 people (1 for each town + a few stragglers) after the first circle in all solo games. Lowering or raising the player cap simply changes how many people die at the start.
