After main server fills up, that is it?

[Seabass03]

Some of my friends now have their CDs and/or downloaded the client from exclusive email link so I assume the largest amount of people ever seen on the server will be on tonight. If the main server is the only one up and 5k get on, the others will have to sit around with their thumbs you know where?

[Sputty]

Securely placed into their cavernous rectum

[Zarparchior]

What if the rectums' of the individuals are not as cavernous as one would expect and are therefore forced to place their thumbs elsewhere? Where do they place them then?

[BUGGER]

quit talkin bout thumbs up peeps asses, is there another server?

[MrVulcan]

well, I also think that they will change the max limit too, but I think that there are a few test servers, just not all are up all the time....

Beta testers?

[Venoxile]

*dev sees post* "Oh shit! Why the hell did we allow 25,000 more beta testers into the server when we forgot to stabilize more then 1 server! Fuckin a mother fucker." *Quickly orders back all beta cd's and starts typing new announcement*.
"Uh, the beta cd's may not reach your home in the next week, another error has occurred. In fact, don't expect your beta cd's to come at all. Forget this ever happened, and there is no planetside. What's planetside anyways? It sounds gay, doesn't it? Uh, bye."

bwahahaha

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.

[Fire_Monkey]

They have 5 servers

[Arthell]

5? Ignore me.

[Zarparchior]

5 * 5,000 = 25,0000

Er... didn't they say they have 60,000 beta testers now?

[Saethan]

Not even close to all 60,000 will be on at once.

Ex: There are currently around 420,000 registered and being-paid-for everquest accounts. Their record for the number online at once is 120,000.

[Venoxile]

Yeah that means when everyone gets their beta cd's, less then half are going to actually beable to play immediately. Muahhahaha hillarious, there will be about 20 bitching threads on psu alone saying that they cant find a server that's not full.

[MrVulcan]

well, they are going to have to get the server problems sorted out asap, esp if they want to have the game out in a month

You cant have half of the people not be able to play the game

I think no matter the time of day or night, as soon as the Beta CD is recieved that people will play without sleep for a good amount of time.

I just realize now it won't be everyone... I hope I'm able to get in when I finally do get that damnible CD.

[MrVulcan]

thats sad, worring about being able to play the beta after we are accepted to be able to play the beta
