New Record!
The Freedom server is accommodating more players than it, or any other City of Heroes server has, ever has before in recent history. In reviewing the last several years of log files I cant find where weve even been within 30% of the new number. Were very excited with this new peak in maximum concurrency and its a testament to the hard work and investment back into the servers infrastructure and hardware.
Server Cap
Unfortunately, as we recently announced, the game servers capabilities are not limitless. Rather than allow the player count to keep going to a point where it can make an impact on everyone playing, or worse, cause instability or crashing, we are locking the amount of players who can connect to any one server. You will be able to tell if a server is locked by it being gray at server select and Full will come up if you hover your mouse over it.
Overall, the servers are holding more people and running smoother than our recent previous Double XP and special events (Halloween, Winter Event, etc.). Our sincere apologies to anyone who is inconvenienced by the use of the server cap.
To discuss this announcement, please join us on the Technical Forums.
