Title: How many people play Planeshift?
Post by: Eachann on June 08, 2006, 05:26:44 pm
Just curious how populated the world actually is?    Last night was my first time playing, and the answer to most of the question on this forum is "ask others in the game for help"... but I literally only saw about 3 or 4 other people the whole time I played last night.    Makes asking others kinda tough :)

Ya think? I normally see up to 10 people in Hydlaa, sometimes even more. You'll just have to play during the evenings, that's when there's the most activity and biggest chance to be helped.

A small tip:
You can type  "/who"  in the chat box and see how many people are playing at any given time.

Most time between 80 and 150 people are online.
You can check out http://laanx.fragnetics.com/index.php?page=char_stats to see who and how much players are online.

Quick Question. What about Net bandwith for the servers and all ? How does it work with (hopefully) so many players ?

the server handles it pretty well. when xillix(sp) made her announcement the server surviced quite well. a fair bit of graphicall lag, bu t that is client side.

Hehe, we've got an enkidukai on our hands :P

There are two cities so far, Eachann, and most people are in Hydlaa whereas you are in Oja, atleast, that is my guess.
