Each world and property has a default population capacity (or 'pop cap') - the maximum number of people permitted in that dimension, world or property at one time.
UVIP members can increase the pop cap of their properties and worlds, with the exception of Zabies and Showroom Zabies, which are strictly limited.
UVIP members can also enter properties where the pop cap limit has been reached, allowing the property to go over capacity.

Soft Cap vs Hard Cap
There are two kinds of population capacity - soft and hard.
The hard cap is the maximum number of people a property can hold. The highest a hard cap can be is 300.
The soft cap is the maximum number of people permitted per dimension within that property. The highest a soft cap can be is 300. Once this limit is reached, a new dimension will open and each new guest will enter the new dimension until it is full and another one opens. People are permitted to jump to a 'full' dimension from the Dimensions menu as long as the hard cap has not been reached.
So, if you have a soft cap of 10 and a hard cap of 40, once 10 people are in a dimension in your property, a new dimension will open up when a new person comes in. Once 40 people total are in your property, no new visitors will be able to enter until someone leaves.
World Cap vs Property Cap
Each world has a pop cap, and each property has a default pop cap. The world pop cap always overrides a property pop cap. For example, if your world's capacity is 100 visitors, and you have 50 visitors in one property and 50 visitors in another property, you will not be able to receive any more visitors in any properties in that world until someone leaves, even if your other properties are empty. Likewise, if you have a world capacity of 100 and a property capacity of 300, you will still only be able to have 100 visitors in your property, because the world will be full at 100 visitors.
Increasing Your World Pop Cap

Increasing Your Property Pop Cap
You can 'override' the default pop cap for most properties, however they will still be bound by the capacity restriction of the world they are in. This means that if you select 200 as your hard cap, but your world's hard cap is 100, you will only be able to host 100 visitors in that property at one time.
