idk just imagine if there were only 1 server.....

Nobody would ever log on...

yes: the community would be closer and better.

no: there would be no way you could ever log in. even premium would not be able to log in after the 3000 limit was reached. plus that means sro would make no money since the player base is smaller. and joymax would shut down or make more servers, bringing isro back to where it is right now.

so, useless poll.

U wont be able to see anyone or anything anywhere and it would be just like swimming in a sea of players.

I dont wanna imagine what will happen if the server still have 3000 as the max amount of players (for log in) though.

um.... NO!

think of the server bandwith like a pipe. you can only fit a certin amount of water (data) into it at a time. if you overload, you lag. if you overload alot, you crash.

any more then 3k users with the current isro setup, and the game wont be functional.

not true, there are many games that have over 10,000 players on 1 server

Even if they were made bigger, to say be able to hold everyone, think about trying to grind with like 15 times the people, I can't even find a good spot now...

cuz they have zones and loading screens. some zones are hosted on different sub-servers which helps cut down lag.

sro has 3 sub-servers per server. hotan, don, and jangan.

each sub-server can only hold 1k people without lagging. thats why there is a 3k limit.

once euro is out, they might add 2k more slots because they are adding 2 more sub-servers.

ok, you guys ar eright. 1 server is shit

If there is one server that could take 1m+ players it would be
a bullcrap idea

remember you when you was a lowbie(30~50) & you want to trade & this high level b1tch thief want to pop you , OH yeah he scored & poped you

now at every single route there is like 10+ high level thiefs that can ruin all game

gold companies will but more gold bots to collect more money for those massive number of players so grinding will be a pain in the @$$

Prices will be like 10x more cuz there is like 50 sos sword & 200k players

grinding areas will be like(1monster for every 5 players)

Rofl 1 monster for every 5 players...

1st "hey i saw him first"
2nd "i hit him first"
3rd "i'm the highest level now stfu noobs and beat it before i pk you"
4rth " " (bot)
5th " " (bot)

GM "Now be good ppl we can all share the monster...here the 1st 2nd and 3rd will have the toes and the bots will have the rest of it"

lol! it'll be impossible to log on

but if that does happen, i reckon joymax would increase the server capacity.

Would it be better if there were just one in isro?
