Discussion Player Count On Official Years Ago

[Szakalaka]

Hello, this question has been buggin me a lot recently. Personally i started 10 years ago at C3, there were plenty of ppl on various locations, but does anyone know estimated values of online players back then? Was it like 10, 20, 30k or even more?

To begin with, your client won't be able to render more than 512 people that are all on the same town or region, and your client will crash

 

so bullshit not more than 3-4k.

 

Servers that have geodata cap at 2-4k players, then eveything gets bugged

 

without geodata and with the proper configuration maybe theres no cap

That 512 limit sounds interesting.

 

What client do you refer to ? Are you counting any object type or just player ?

it was not 512 but if there was more ppl, your client started crash

Not even close to true.

 

No one would make an MMO with such a client limitation. Sounds really really stupid. 

Now, if it is true then it really sucked back then but i highly doubt that this is true.

obvious memory leaks related to drops are still present in latest chronicles

so i have no doubts early chronicles was shitfest on full load xD

Its weird. Lineage is written on unreal engine which is properly coded (and i think it doesnt leak) and so using their classes/deriving shouldnt leak too. I wonder where is the flaw

I dont think there was an limit per players , unreal engine solves easily this kind of issues by giving the player less objects in back view/background and a bit more in front view/around camera position, so more player move in certain location the more objects get rendered, it applies not only to player models, but on objects, effects and all other stuff, i forgott how its called this technique but i was reading about it .
