After the game is released, over time, as server and connection technology improves, will we potentially see larger, but fewer PvP instances?So more players per instance?asked by Rear Admiral Murray
So yeah, the answer on that is yes.There isn't any structural design in terms of how we're coding it. Like if it was 8bit you couldn't get over 256 players in an area. It's not going to be built that way at all. It's just the bandwidth throttle and performance throttle, so as those limits go away, we'll probably be able to scale it to hold more people in any particular area.But it's hard to say because with the rate of change in technology, who knows, bandwidth doesn't seem to be quite as fast as everything else.
