Thousand player fights?

[DviddLeff]

Immediately after release we had a cap of 500 people per continent and didn't have an even split between the empires either, 40/40/20 I believe.

400 players all fighting over one base caused mega lag and server crashes, so they lowered the overall pop to 400 and split it evenly.

Its totaly achiveable. It seems like SOE knows thier marketing angle is going to be scale so thier pushing that side of things to a max, massive seamless worlds with thousands of players is kind of hard to knock with 64 player servers.
