A server can't hold more then 2500-3000 they are a long ways off of 5000. Personally I do not see 5000 even happening.

Stop playing then. It will happen.

yah when the game comes out how many people will they let register on a server... say they let 5000 people register will 5000 people always be able to play or will only 4000 people can play at once ... im asking this because i dont want to pay 10 bucks a month and not be able to get on at times .. i also dont plan on playing on mutliple servers

MMOGs work like this: when they get more subscribers than their servers can hold at peak times, they open new ones. Complicated!

You guys realise that your arguing over something that hasnt happened, and may not happen, right?

Personally, and i was playing all day, ive only seen the three servers up. I dont doubt each server can handle 5000 people.

5 at the most, 2 will hopefully be at the peak while the other 3 will decend......

There will be no artificial cap on the number of accounts that can register for a server. Many, many more people will register for a server than will ever play during its peak time.

There will be enough servers to hold the aggregate number of subscribers that is likely to log in during the peak as well as a substantial buffer zone, and subscribers tend to distribute themselves semi-intelligently.
