For starters, it's not a FPS. It's a TPS (Third Person) as the devs announce on several occasions.

Now that we have that out of the way, the devs have also stated that there will be "10's of thousands" of players per server as is usual. While I haven't read deeply into this because it is really of little consequence when it comes to developing a MMO, I am speculating that the "100" players they are referring to has to do with an area of the city, thus the enforcers will have their precincts and the criminals will have their territories.

Personally, along with my guild (or gang/special unit depending on which route we take), I am looking forward to taking over one of these servers one sector at a time until we have full control of the entire city. Then you all will have no choice but to mow my lawn, take out my garbage, and occasionally... occasionally, you'll have to fling poo at my neighbors!

No... no, not your's. Mine. Muahahahahaaa...

I AM SO DEVIOUS!!!

Yes, it is possible to have 100 players per server but it is highly improbable to the point of being extremely ludicrous.
 


 

Not if they only wanted around 500 dedicated players! Ooooooh, yeah, I gotcha good

Each game world or server has a limit of 10,000 players concurrently online. These players will be playing on district maps which each hold up to 100 players for action districts or 250 players for social districts. Each world has 100’s of these district maps so although a single action district has a 100 player limit, there is no limit to the number of other players you will encounter.

Exact quote from the site.

 

Bumping the quote since some people seemed to miss it.

I kind of like the 100 player limit, though I think it could be raised to 150 (Dunbar's number).
But the less there is, the easier it  will be for my old puter. :)
