This link was posted on the News site today or yesterday (too lazy to look at the date) but it\'s an interview from Warcry about the 100.000 player DB and stuff. Great work is all I can say. :D Keep it going.

Edit: Forgot to URL it...

The announcement of our 100.000 players has been published by many big sites, read it here on warcry or on stratics.

woot woot go PS!

Perhaps a few screenshots of the CB should be sent to Warcry? I\'m pretty sure it would make it to the frontpage :)
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.

True that, but it still means at least 100,000 people know PS is around.

well I don\'t think it\'s 100000 players, it\'s just 100000 player accounts registered, that doesn\'t have to mean players... but still, it\'s pretty impressive :)

in the technical help forums you met a lot of players that said please delete all those chars, with a 2~8 names list. I assume that a lot of players still have more than one account (i have three :D)

The word unique doesn\'t really change anything... Unless it means that every single \"unique\" account is a character created from different IP adresses..

Yeah, but then there are many, many others who have heard of it, go to the boards or IRC (the old people, etc.)...or just read the interviews and stuff but have never got on the game, I think it probably about evens out.

IP adresses? They are not unique for each pc, they can change at each connexion/disconnexion. MAC adresses? hmm... maybe but as i created 3 chars with the same MAC, i think there\'s no restriction at this point

Kiern: yes, you are right but that doesn\'t change that currently there is not 100000 players

CB?

Anyways, yeah, Els, I agree, in fact, my ISP doesn\'t mind me switching my IP adress as much as I want. (Both the ISP\'s IP, and my own.)
