What # Most Enjoyable?

For the most part, 64. Smaller maps can still provide close fighting with less, but large maps just don't. A large map like Winterwald with 32 is impossible to defend.

Keep in mind, this is all in Classic, in Realism, these comments might not apply.....

Anything 18-48 is preferred. There are many tactical options available with lower player counts; even Apartments can be enjoyable with a small population!

Over 48 players and it's like putting your fist into a running blender. Not too fun...

I'm actually worried that the same thing is going to happen with RS is released. I hope maps designed for 32 players aren't going to cram 64 players onto them.

Fingers crossed...

perfect description of 64 player!

I wish they brought the 128 player modification from RO to RO2. Don't know how it worked so I've got no idea how feasible it is... Might not be possible seeing it hasn't been done yet.

Maps like appartments can go suck a lemon for all I care. I'd love more big custom maps and finally some light vehicles.

we don't have a map that would support that many players and I hope to never see the day anyone even tries that many.
interesting post. seems like you have apartments because it's so small, yet you want to add to many players to the rest of the maps to make them play small? no thanks. ever play apartments with about twenty players? works fine then. more players equals less gameplay and more chaos.

The worst is when I see a server with like 28 players, but it has 36 bots.

eh? why? I see nothing wrong with a 14 on 14 on a map like apartments or barracks. in fact, most stock maps play fine with that many players.

 

[potehto]

No I love having that many players, the problem is when servers have tons of bots in addition to the players at player numbers which are quite acceptable.

40-44 Players are perfect for me. 64 is to much for the most maps. Maybe Barashka is fine with 64 Player online. But 40-44 is good for every map

28-40 Human players are good IMO....When you have 64 HUMAN players on a map, it seems like most of the "natural funnels get camped in, along with having a couple rifle men on far outside of map, a team can make movement pretty hard. It becomes more of a spawn die feast.....

Now if your whole team is working together like RO was design to be played 64 man teams are fun and enjoyable....but finding a server where complete team work is being play is next to impossible........Again IMO..

gotcha. yeah, it would be stupid to have any bots with that many on a server. I mostly play rgn custom server. there are no bots at all.

Hi guys!

I was wondering, what number of players in a server do you find to be most enjoyable? Having too few players makes the game horribly stale, but having too many players turns into a zerg. What do you feel is the magical amount?

Personally I like about 30 to 38 ish. Doesnt matter really , the lemmings all gravitate to the zerg servers.

that's probably the biggest reason for avoiding 64 player servers!

Oh how productive. "I don't like the idea so I hope no one else can enjoy it."

Appartments is boring due to it being one big chokepoint throughout. The 128 player servers got some huge custom maps in RO not to mention the fact that RO had bigger and more open maps in general. Some current maps might work atleast up to 96 players and I'd love to see it tried.

Aside from apartments, which I abhor in general, I like having 64 players.

Finally someone who doesn't like danzig!!! 64 is good on most maps.

blah,blah,blah.

go put words in someone elses mouth. I don't appreciate it.

64 is a perfect number for me. Would love to have more players even! On some of the bigger maps. *wants giant maps like in RO/DH and with 200 players*
When the number of players is too low it just gets too easy for the attacking team to sneak by = boring to defend. So 50+ is cool I guess.
