Over time as technology gets better and better and more people are able to upgrade their systems yes they could! Although that also makes it harder and harder for those that can't upgrade their PCs to handle that many characters on screen thus excluding those paying customers.
Funcom has already cut a huge portion of the MMO player base by the required specs needed! Upgrading would only make it worse and cut even more players from fully experiencing what the game offers. This is why the 100x100 was cut down to 48x48, cause even the top end PCs atm don't handle 100x100 very well.
people complained at the system requirements for the game. They streamlined the game so it would run more smoothly, and put in limits to reduce lag as a result.
I have a feeling that once a few of these sieges take place with average players on average hardware, and they are smooth, the cap will be raised.
Elmindra, since when has Funcom been dishonest? They have done everything during CB and OE to make sure that issues are dealt with swiftly and effeciently. So far the dev's are on the ball. They don't let a bug go withotu killing it fast. And this is music to my ears.
If anything, Funcom "should" be continuing to tweak their servers, as alot of MMO developers do. As patches get released to improve game performance aswell as server improvements, why couldn't they up it to 100v100 ?
I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did in the near future.

it's not the servers they are worried about, it is the hardware of the average player.
If there were 100 vs 100 sieges, we'd hear nothing but bitching about the low fps and "lag-fest".
I apologize if I am blaming Funcom or the developers or whoever. I was just very excited about the massive sieges and when I heard about only 48vs48, thats not very fun or as fun as 100+vs100+.
Also whoever said that they did not mention this is wrong. I do not have a direct link but I do remember them saying that because that is what got me interested in this game.

Empty promises are 1/2 of mmorpgs.
Yes they will change that.
Whats funny and ticks me off is that this wasn't a promise. They said there will be 100+vs100+ PvP sieges.
What they did is lie. Unless they correct this mistake.
I have another question too. Has Funcom or whoever is doing this always been this sly and dishonest?

Yes they have, since their existence!
Link to Funcom mentioning 100+100, please...

No one wants a slideshow, though.

People will bitch no matter what is done.
