This really hurt! I do pray its a typo. For those that dont want to read. There are basically screenshots up on the AOC forums of the AOC ingame manual showing that there is a limit of 48 players per side in seige battles.

OUCH OUCH OUCH!!

stricly with performance in mind, with the graphics of this game... it seems like a smart move . One thing I've learned from other mmos is that large scale pvp is worthless if its nothing but lag spikes and disconnects. With 96 players in a battle, should be plenty to test any system.

It's a good number, we are talking here about very detailed combat with more players then the alterac valley in world of warcraft. The static number make it become a very well tuned compitition zone where skills matter and not numbers.

People can think about it what they want but just have some fate, because it will turn out great.

Anyone know what the heck "Configuration: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php" means when I try to access the official forums?

I dunno, but 200 ppl running around Tarren mill sucked.  I think 48vs48 is gonna be nice.  That's still better than AV in WoW...

HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL

looks like the forum software config file is not present or they are reloading the forum software and you caught them int he middle of it

Nothing is officially confirmed yet. Its a manageable size as it is right now. Stops a zerg too.

It could be 48 per side that will be subject to the objectives and still be in an open area, where others can enter but not score in the ticketing system for sieges. Like 96 people in the fight but the area can hold more, like another 100.

Best to wait for official acknowledgement and clarification.

48 v 48 is perfect. Guilds dont have to be huge, lets more people participate.

im not really worried abotu it cause im getting teh game for free anyway, but there are people out there who have invested money in this game already just so they can do these "epic battles". We have all been told that we could play with hundreds of peole in the seiges. AND now, 4 days before the game launches, you find out from a manual, not even teh FC mouths, that there is a possiblity that the game will only handle 96 people in a seige. Yo man, Anyone and everyone has a right to be uncomfortable at the least about that! I do for one hope this is a typo, because if its not, its gonna hurt alot! Thats nothing short of false advertising if it is true!

I wouldn't believe it for anything, I imagine most will have to drop their setting to do the 48vs48. What good is a siege battle if its unplayable?

can you provide a link where FC states the # of participants in the siege battles will be in the hundreds... or was it in "commercial" tone?

Have to look at it too from the tech side if they can handle say for example 300- 500 people in a zone and there are 3 battlekeeps per zone thats 300 people in the border kingdoms essentially getting it on. The left overs will be everyone else because its open pvp zone.

So technically you could have massive in that zone, just not all at your keeps front door. Plus extra people running around who just wont be able to score for either guild making up numbers but having an influence too as the keeps themselves arent instanced.

Would be nice to have some clarification too - I expect it to come late morning Norway time :)
