Isn't that like a whole WoW server?

No, Blizzard's servers support 10k people at a time if I remember right.  What I want to know is where do these numbers come from?  All these posts of 100+ people battles with screenshots of 20-30 people.   If you have time to count your opponents, there aren't as many as you are thinking.

yeah its bs there is no way the server could hold a 2k person battle, when i had an active account we had about 1500 people and we had to turn everything down to get less laf plus we still had lag.

I'm guessing it's people in a chunk line.  While there may be concentrated action, could have people across the whole chunk.

Wrong on that aspect, get the Cesus mod.

The most people ever online the most populated server at one time that I saw?

2.5k people

Yes, thats it.

Don't believe me?   Download the Census mod yourself, WoW does not have that many concurent players per server honestly...

How many can they HOLD?

Who knows, they'll probably never get to capacity.

I think a WoW server have about 3K players. So almost : )

Or lets say it was only 1300 players in a batle?

ye right i lold at this so badly you seem to add another 100 people to the fight every other week or so but all ive seen so far is around 100 witch is nothng special

I'm pretty sure that mod only counts the people that actually have the Census mod. Could be wrong tho...

Yes that is entirely incorrect...

It does a /who and then breaks down the people by class and race...

like /who Blood elf Paladin

then it does

/who Blood elf Mage

then it does

/who ...

ETC.

Getting EVERYONE on that server at that time.

So no, the Census program doesn't just get people wiht it, it gets EVERYONE online at that time.

Yea you are wrong.  It does a bunch of /who queries somehow.

the 100+ battles is a lagfest..they cannot support it at all.............like they said they could :)

Fixed for truth.

2000 man battle he is refering to is in regards to something that happened on Saturday, where Hyperion did an attack on multiple cities at the same time on Yssam.  There was a staggering amount of people involved in the battles.  The 2000 people where not all in the same chunk as far as I know, but the battle was localized in a series of guild cities in the jungles of Yssam.

Eh... This is like saying ok WoW had a 2k person battle but only if you add all the players in the BGs at the same time pvping.

Even War has keep sieges all the time but they are seperate fights. You cannot just add them all together and say ok we had one 2000 person battle. It is very misleading.

I would argue that is not a fair comparison.  Battles in WoW BG are instanced and have no bearing or support from one another.   Some of the cities in Yssam are pretty damn close to each other, I was there a a few days ago exploring and that place was crawling.    Also realize that Yssam and Hyperion are both alliances and entities.   This means that during th course of the various sieges, people are move and shuffled around to the different battle fronts where more people are needed.

You can see that the southern half of Yssam has a lot of cities that are in close proximity.   You also have to factor in that during a challenge, the agressor has to defend their city for 4 hours.  2000 people is a lot of people to funnel into one section of the world map, even if it is more than 1 chunk.

Im sorry but the "big battles" threads just keep getting weirder... So now we're up to 2000 people... possibly spread over a whole bunch of "zones?"

Sigh... I dont get it why people keep trying to convince the "trolls" at MMORPG.com, I thought this was considered a pit of mud and the root of all evil by the Darkfalll players..?

According to fanboy logic this doesn't matter. Since the whole world is not "zoned" it shouldn't matter as long as they are not all on the same screen. Distance should not matter as long as everyone is not on the same screen. Your logic fails.

Do you even play Darkfall? 2000 people fighting over that area is an extemely large amount and made for a very  bloody battle. I know. I made the big mistake of exploring there via a raft the night that happened and got totally full looted.

hmm sounds like the census mod is broken..................Guess you're not smart enough to know that you CAN'T /who the opposite faction, so 1500 people the mod picks up is of your faction only........Guess people are too retarded to understand basic concepts
