A very curious question for GM's

How many players maximum are you going to have in illarion? There is going to be a limit right? I'm just curious because this game is (i think) two years old and still accepting more players. If there is no limit imagine 80 players at once!

read the newest news on Illarion.org ... there is a account stop

the account stop is because galadriel needs to clean up the mail box, and work through the overload of emails from people waiting for accounts. not because they arent EVER going to accept more people.

Ultima asked to help with the load, but wasn't allowed to because to accept them he'd have to look at the passwords of other accounts. I agree with that, but I wish there was something I could do.

they should come up with an automated system to handle account registrations, password changes, etc. Just and idea, it would lighten the load and I have seen 45 players on at a time.

Lots of people would like to help but most of us are young and they dont trust young people which is normal... i wouldnt trust a teenager or young adult with somehting like that

A said it before, a automated system for the accounts would help nothing. It were like for 8 months, every fool can play this game and the roleplay atmosphere is down.
The Problem is, how will you learn a program ( script ) to share bad stories from good stories? the individuality every story is here the problem, a prog does only what you say him.

Concerning Server. Shi'voc said anytime 100 player´s at once should be no problem for the server. ( written here --->
Wozu ist der Server fähig? / in German )

I have seen 54 player´s,if i remember me right.

there are plans to automate parts of the account approval like sending out the storys, activating approved accounts etc...
which would decrease the amount of work the gm who is working on the approvals has to do radically... the only problem there is time ;)
