That hill has been held solo for the past nine years. Someone ought to tell those other 'mmofps' usurpers that 64 players doth not an mmo make.

Here's to nine more.

Amen. 9 years of watching maybe a hundred games list themselves as "mmofps" more than games list themselves as sandbox, and none of them being true. 8v8 and "massive chat rooms" are not massive multiplayer.

I hope you don't get bored of Planetside for the next 10 years Higby, we're holding this one to ya to keep it going strong the whole decade!

Heh, if you ask Derek Smart he'll gladly tell you that his MMO "Line of Defense" has already beaten Planetside 2. But I highly doubt that. Planetside 2 looks like it's going to be the best in its genre, unfortunately, there aren't many others to compete with. Wait no, that's a good thing.

Hmm.. Line of Defence seems like Planetside 2, but with smaller maps but more open, with space. And over 23,000 people per server, thats alot, but how many will Planetside 2 have? I can't remember the exact number.

WOT apparently has he world record for the most people on 1 server, max 30 people per instance. I dont really see how the amount of people on a server is relevent. im sure soe could had 60 more maps on the one server and be all like "LOOK AT US GUYZZZ" but its meaningless unless they're on the same cont.

Its like saying. "Look at me! I have 5 million dollars. But my aunt has it."

Unless those server people can actually work up to each other and see each other and interact with each other, then that doesn't count as people being on the same server physically. Or something along those lines. I probably worded it wrong.

Yes but only 256 per continent and it looks like worse shooter mechanics than the original planetside
