WDYM increase? Just 12 ppl already is a crowd... And 18 ppl - is unplayable nightmare most of the time, especially when bunch of, for the lack of better word, apes vote joust-crates-andaction-stalwartlite-egypt on a loop when server is full.
Perhaps a better utilisation of servers?
In the place of Mr. snowguy (which I also suggested to him once) I would try "return to the past" (from ten years) and on the L2 server switch to SA mode only with grapple.

The more players, the more fun, spam is often a good fun too, as a break from normal maps.
PepsiCola The more players, the more fun
Nope. Everything good only in moderation.
PepsiCola spam is often a good fun too
It's really not. Every once in a while some chaotic spammy match is allright, but for 4-5 maps straight? No thanks.
PepsiCola as a break from normal maps
There like 2-3 "normal" maps in the play (simple map like "liandry docks", or sterile, but actually fitting ctf-mode "bleak"), at least from what I've experienced while playing on london.

There is more normal CTF maps than you mentioned, there are also: OPEL, DUKU and I guess few more.
All these maps become less playable and enjoyable when there's more than 12ish ppl on server.

Then go and play on Fast Download SMoKiNG 4 Everyone >GRAPPLE< server, it's population is a half of population of LONDON server, you will be happy then. 
Funny thing is, I found myself preferring that laggy joke of a server over london - it tells quite a lot about situation on london tbh.
London is fine stop listening to the mob put down your pitchfork and torch and just play the game.

Look, I'm not talking about cheaters, real or imaginary. Even though just this evening I played and ppl called out one guy for cheating (funny thing is: there were no deranged_newb or gonzales in sight).
It's not about the witch hunt with pitchforks and torches. I'm talking about general experience: maps ppl tend to vote and how matches tend to flow.
not likely to ever happen.. but yes cap it at 12 players and let the overflow migrate over to London2.
Finally a good idea.
