yes the hardware improved a lot but even if you assigned 1 big as quad-core box to 1 planet there would still be a definite cap for players and no dynamic processing is allowed then.
i would say to achieve SOE's standard of 3000 players online would need 10-15 middle line servers

This is all confusing to me, but are you saying for the game to be fully functional pre-cu you'll need 10-15 servers in 'clustering' mode?

"But for many people it is much more than a game - it is a part of their lives where they have invested huge amounts of time building a community. And that community has been based on a sophisticated, mature game. So now, for them to take an adult-level combat and economics simulation and turn it into a mindless game for 10-year-olds is a violation of that community."
