Guesstamate?

I would like a guesstamate/actual number how many people will be allowed to play the destiny beta. I would think it would be a ton, but prove me wrong if its not.

    oops this was meant to be in the 10,000 per server conversation below lol “But we didn’t really want to do that, because if you think about those kinds of games, you’ve got a centralized server that’s simulating everything in the world, but that can only scale up to some number of players. Maybe it’s 1,000. Maybe it’s 5,000. Maybe it’s 20,000. You compare that to the population of a console game and it’s tiny. “So what that means is that you have to have dozens or hundreds of these separate servers. So we started out by thinking, ‘We want to have a single world that everybody can be in.’” Butcher added that Bungie looked at, “mesh-based networking” as a solution, which means there won’t be any areas of the game left feeling under-populated, due to everyone being in the same server.

  • I would guess about 10,000 players per server. The question remains how many servers?
