For dump people, Lineage 2 is a game designed to have 5000-6000 maximum online and it can't possibly have any more because even at 5000 real online the game play is horrible and it is hard to find a spot/mobs to farm.
On high rate servers it is even worse because most players are leveling and farming using the same location.
It seems to be like a trend now taken from Russian private servers to have x100 - x1000 online counter for some reason. Remember the good old days when there wasn't fake online and never ending server openings with greedy, money hungry low life admins trying to make a living on this.
