BETA TEST ROADMAP IS UP!

FFXI days 5,000 people was plenty enough.

Except he doesn't mean 5,000 on at the same time. He means 5,000 characters on the server, but not necessarily playing at any given time. You could people of differing time zones, on vacation, it could be pretty empty a fair chunk of the time.

During the golden age of FFXI Ramuh didn't break a sweat in breaking over 4000 people online at the same time. That indicates a total active population of 20,000 players or even more.

ffxi had a max of 3k players or so i remember playing when i was 13year old and seeing that many at any giving time. The game was so alive ; ; people everywhere helping and doing stuff man i miss how players use to be.

You guys are getting too hang up with the numbers.

Physically, there is no limit on the numbers of players each world can house. The only limit that exists, and based on alpha test info released back in Nov, is that a server, aka zone, starts to lag at around 1k players, with 400+ battles, happening at the same time. In alpha, many zones existed (8?), hence each world can easily handle the 5K login limit that is set (if that limit exists); and that is with very limited areas of the Shroud existed in Alpha.

With 5 worlds, beta phase 1 having the whole world as we knew it in 1.0, can easily handle 50-100k players to say the least.

I was told the same thing when I tested 1.0, and look how that turned out to be.
