I don't think they'll be keeping so few for retail. These were added for the weekend, yes, but considering they need all these for just the....65,000 was it?
Well, lets just say each server can hold 8k people max and they sell 500k copies. Theres 20 US based servers which would equal 160k people at max. The rule of thumb is that 25% of your subscription base is playing at all times. So 160x4 = 640,000 subscribers for 20 servers. So i believe that 20 is going to be the number come release. Now im sure they also have about another 5-7 on standby.
8k player max sounds insanely low to me.
Wouldnt it be closer to 20k~ or more? I know you were just using 8k as a general number to support 20 servers, but I can't see the max being under 10k
I would guess they want lower server pops. Only reason I say that is the servers need to be able to handle massive amounts of people in a relativly small location at one time (open rvr zones which no arent small but when you pack most of the server in one area its small lol). Regardless, even if they cap the servers at 8 it doesnt mean they cant handle 10-20k. And its not like they cant change it at a later date. I dont believe mythic has really said exactly how they are going to cap the servers yet anyway.
