How many players per server?

As the title says, have anyone over at Boheima mentioned anything about how many max player slots there are going to be on a server when the game is "done"?

Last I heard they were aiming for 100. I think its still 40 atm, to me 50 would be fine once we are mobile and can entrench properly, 100 would just be a bloodbath lol :)

Hopefully they can get 100 up and running on stable before all that much longer. Then we can all see how it works out for a while. On the face of it, it doesn't sound too many to me - I'd like to see if 150 would work if that's possible from a technical standpoint.

In full 40 player server you can rarely see anyone, even at the coast. 100 is not as bad as it sounds.

100 sounds as to little to me, i am hoping for 2-300.
Heck, H1Z1 is going to have over 1000+ players per server, im quessing their map is much bigger thought.

300 people on this sized map WAY to many people there is ment to be a feeling of isolation it is a zed apoc after all where 99% of people have ment to have died/been infected. With that many people the game would be a constant utter death match with guns going off ever where you turned..

 

Guess some people would like that but meh id be happy at 100 even then hiding your base will be hard so much traffic wandering through the woods to find ya shit lol..

I can see people creating their own super servers eventually, like happens in most games. So "maybe" in the future 200 - 250 players servers is not out of question, but with the central loot economy that will only happen in private hives where admins can control the loot... and honestly with that many players, it will just mean a huge Deathmatch game with people killing each other every 10 minutes.
