Servers Capacity?

Not really a bad omen.... it means we are getting enough players to play the game. I still want to know what's the maximum, probably 4 thousands people per server max?

I'm pretty sure that there are more then 100,000 people in NA and EU playing the game.

The average of four thousand per server is realistic. That would log about 200,000 active accounts worldwide. The fact they are full means each server has hit a maximum load. When the game goes live on Tuesday, this could be a massive issue unless more servers are added in all regions because 1.0 and non-EA players will be logging in and they will be the majority, so downtime is going to be expected for a bit. When combined, the number will likely be closer to a million service accounts and I doubt spreading 20,000 people per server would be able to handle it with just the 50 online now.
