• The "targeting 1500 players per server" quote was from December 2010 and came from the head designer himself. I mean, it doesn't even contradict with anything. 300K at pre launch as a maxed out capacity is realistic. Why the fuzz ? Back to t…

• Originally posted by Emergence I do not believe that "everyone already knows this" is a correct answer. People seem to assume and some even state that if a game is > 1000 players, it is a failure, not a MMORPG, and a horrible excuse for a game. …

• Rift is the new weekly replacement for WOW. It will be replaced when the next replacement will hit beta. The same replacement history as seen in the last 5 years now. Although with slightly less numbers of interested dudes as each replacement …

• Like I said, these days we are seeing the last of the single realm server based games with a limited amount of players (from 1500 to 3/4000) concurrently on line "in the same world". These numbers simply are not big enough to support the huge cont…

• Another confirmation that their next MMO will be multi clustered server play combined through BattleNet. You will be able to play with RL friends, the playing field will no longer be cut by single realms/levels/ etc .. Friends that play together…

• The limited number per server (realm) has always been one of the forces that ran MMORPG's to the ground. And those who say that MMORPG's with single server realms have MUCH more concurrent pops these days are simply wrong. In an official chat se…

• Unless you can show me the hard dollars earned, I don't believe the F2P conversation is a succes in revenue in the long run. The only thing Turbine bragged about in both AD&D and Lotro is how they went up with 200% of this and 300% of that. Bu…
