<DIV>Wondering how many players each shard can accommodate?  I know the zones max at 100.  Just trying to get a sense for player base vs. some other upcoming SOE titles.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance for your reply!</DIV><p>Message Edited by Phylicus on <span class=date_text>10-12-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:24 PM</span>

<DIV><A href="http://eq2census.com/" target=_blank>http://eq2census.com/</A> can probably give you the data your interested in as to the current server populations.  Saying a zone can only have 100 people though isn't true due to instancing (and I don't believe that threshold is the same for all zones).  Also, you have to consider how many people are online versus how many characters there are.  EQ2 Census says there are a little over two million characters at the moment heh.</DIV>

<DIV>How many people can a server handle at one time?  There must be some sort of cap in place, I imagine, to conserve resources.</DIV>

I think I heard (from SOE) that a server can hold up to 10,000. Whether or not that's true I dunno. <div></div>

That web site counts the total number of CHARACTERS that exist, not ACCOUNTS.They have approximately 175,000 currently active accounts.I think there is what, 28 current servers now so...175000/28=6250 AVG per server. That's population, not all on at same time. That AVERAGE. No idea of the exact breakdown per server.<p>Message Edited by Scortch on <span class=date_text>10-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:22 PM</span>
