Assume that half of that team operates at a specific time-zone, so 7/8 moderators available in one time-zone. Obviously, not all of them will be online every day because of other responsibilities.

So 4 moderators online at any given time is very reasonable. R2DA attracts on average around 600 players online, which are approximately 30+ servers. This means that every moderator oversees around 8 servers at a time while still keeping R2DA Wikia in mind. This is not a decent number, especially not when knowing that a mod call most of the times won't get answered.

Obviously, a game this size won't need 200 moderators. Nobody has said that anyway, however extra, trustworthy, moderators would definitely increase the game's enjoyment. Glitchers, hackers and harassers will be a problem of the past if moderators have to cover less servers at once.
