How many CB severs will there be?

[Ecolem]

As i read on the main site on \"cheating\" it says that \"people who cheat well be banned and that will allow more bandwith for better players\".

Does that indicate that only a certin ammount of people can be online at the same time?(for Eg 100) Or will there be room for much more.

[Shadowfalcon]

100 players at a time would make PS a moderately multiplayer online game Im sure it will support many times that number of players.

Increasing bandwidth for better players makes their connection to the server faster with less traffic, it doesn\'t mean that it will free up space to allow more people. By having one less player on the server (the cheater), the bandwidth used for that player will automatically be dispersed  among the players currently connected, making all of their connections slightly better.

As far as I know, there will be about 2 servers. One for playing, one for testing, but I could be wrong.

[Kiva]

One server. Laanx. And for now, there can be plenty of people on that server. Bandwith never was, and wont be a problem for a long time. The only problem that might appear after a long time, is CPU usage, but for now that is not even close to being a problem.

sounds great! but what will be the amount of players? more or less.. 100? 1000? more?

2004/12/8 : Total Accounts: 266526

So As I\'ve 3 accounts (two for name reservation and fken who won\'t past in CB)

and as a lot of people comes just to try it and some other have created bad account and forgot to delete it and as nobody play at the same time... I think personnaly it could be something like 20 less time people on the server... so 13000 account if the game interrest people... I dont think there will be the possibility to play for everyone at the same time in fact : at the week end it could be hard and even the linkdead or server drops could be... fatal !

but I readed somewhere there are some other server propositions... is it still possible ?

[Toadhead]

Currently the game is just crap becuase it\'s still beta, as soon as CB is released and the game is starting to get interesting more ppl will join. I think that as soon as we\'ve reached the version after CB like 50.000 players could play the game or even more.. And I guess like 2000 people should be online everytime...

Sounds much but if you compare it to other MMORPG\'s...
Don\'t forget PS is free!

MB is a technology demo not a game.

Frankly, I think its a very good technology demo.

1 server?  I thought I read somewhere that when CB opens that there will be more servers, and that offers have already been extended to the devs for use of those servers.

[Androgos]

Post-CB or when the need knocks on the door, we\'ll implement a pretty advanced server clustering system with fancy backbones and drone servers and so on

There is some doc on that somewhere around in this forum

Ahh, so that must\'ve been what I read.  I can\'t wait til the world is big enough to *need* that kind of thing.

[Lorddonk]

From what I read there will be one server at release. As far as connections per server... your guess is as good as mine

Even if there is more than one server they will be connected so no matter where you play on you will see everyone from every server.

Did I imply something to the contrary?  @.@  While I haven\'t seen any evidence supporting it exactly as you have stated it, I\'d heard all servers would be seamlessly interconnected in one way or another.
