Expanding Server Capacity Clarification

[Alhanelem]

Can you please tell us your working to raise the 5000 concurrent player limit, from the sounds of the latest post it seems your just making new worlds and not increasing the limit each world can handle. Can we get words on what your plans on. I have friends still unable to join me and I hate to have to coordinate all of them onto a new world if you are not addressing the 5k a server limit. (which already I think is pretty low)

From what they've been saying it seems like a hard limit. So odds are they'll have to offer people transfers to ease the limit.

5000 really isn't very low. You can see tons of people in every area as it is now. remember 5000 simultaneously means tens of thousands of characters active on the server in total.

Please explain to me how that works, I would imagine 5000 concurrent connections meant total players connected to the server, mind just enlightening me on the tech side of what that statement means to what you say?
