How many players are there per server atm? both total and concurrent???

[Treble]

Do we know? Has that info been released at all??

Are we at some crazy low number like 300k total players and the games not doin so well? or are we at like 230k per server with 20-25k concurrent on at all times?

Whats the dilly. Very curious due to all the server issues we've had so far.

Each server can hold 5000 concurrent users at one time, so JP has 25 servers, EU/NA has 25 Servers which equals 250,000 concurrent users. I forgot how many they said were online at one given moment, at all times.

Really? 5k? Is that.. normal for an mmo??

That makes me wonder what they're raising the concurrent cap to now, and what the concurrent on WoW servers was during vanilla.

I'd like a source for that 5,000 claim.

This is directly from the Sticky on this forum from Yoshi-P: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-Restrictions

Each FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn World server has been designed to support a maximum of 5,000 concurrent connections. This is not the maximum number of characters which can be created on a World, however, but the maximum number of characters which can be logged into that World simultaneously. When more than 5,000 characters log into a World at once, there is a higher risk of server crashes and login errors. The restoration of crashed servers is usually followed by a rush of players attempting to log back in, which, in turn, puts a strain on our lobby server, and can ultimately have an adverse affect on all of the Worlds.

In case you need to see it to believe.

EDIT: Damn, got sideswiped by Kazadora!!

Max 5k concurrent per server is normal for an MMO.

Outside of launch, it's rare for an MMO to approach those numbers per server.Game areas are typically not designed to hold that many people so it's not ideal anyways. Usually a "healthy" server has 2-3k concurrent on peak.

For soruce, let's see... sticky on the top of this forum?

Yoshi-P said they were at "maximum concurrent connections of over 230,000 users" most recently, and with 50 servers that comes to more than 4600 per server on average. The limit was less than that for a while, until SE optimized the duty finder and stuff.

There seems to be a queuing system on each server, and its capacity seems to be a few hundred, though they might have scaled it back for stability. I've been at #433 early on, but more recently I've been at double digits. When that queue fills up, I think that's when we get the 1017.

How many total per server? SE hasn't said. I would make wild guesses, but they might get quoted. So between "a lot more than 5000" and "a whole lot more than 5000".

5K is the limit SE put on the servers to keep the Duty Finder server from crashing. Yoshi has stated that they servers can handle many times that amount.

A current gen WoW realm generally has around 5-35k characters on it total (only level 10 and above that have been active within 30 days). I don't think blizzard publically says how high their servers can go for concurrent connections, but I'd imagine it's probably around 5k. Most WoW realms don't have close to that on at one time.

The answer to server stress problems is more servers, not trying to max them out higher. If I remember correctly I think XI servers did around 1-2k on average?
