How many players can there be on one server

[[deleted]]

Hello, I am a big fan of mmos and FPS and I was wondering if there will like hundreds of players in a server so there will be epic battles and stuff.

2000 players

6000, it's 2000 per continent.

They can't. That's why we all crash. And I don't get why Planetside 2 still uses that crap game engine.

Jesus, how can people computer handle that amount of players?

Not that many players will be rendered when playing. Once the player render limit has been reached it will dynamically adjust who is shown based on perceived threat to you.

Development for it is still a WIP. Sony seems to want to establish it for use in other games as well(Everquest Next).

Not to mention that battles rarely involve more than 150 players in one place.

No crash, no lag, the engine is great for this amount of players. Compare it to games like BF4 which have horrible netcode with only 16-64 players...

Might want to start your own thread about that if you haven't yet.

I generally get involved in battles involving close to a hundred players and I generally just counter snipe or active snipe if I'm feeling bold.
