Well, in theory, yes. Years ago, servers were fantastic retail C4, sieges were exorbitant, to take Aden, had between 10 and 20 clans (clan + ally) and about 100 to 200 players momentarily in that siege. with buffers, and supporting characters. Today, if you want to make a similar server, will stay in the 100 players successfully, otherwise a few. And also vary if there are donations or not.
You have to find ways to make "fun" a server, either C4, Interlude, or Freya. And if someone intends to make a medium server, it forces you to customize community (or gmshops buffer or editing option).
Finally, never forget those glory days LINEAGE II.
