    Almost 100k people trying to jam into the severs. They recently added 2 more servers. There is so much happening that its almost impossible to get a grasp of whats going on. They only issue I see right now is the fact that there is just too many people.

    Well it is beta.....sooooooooo I would assume to be tiny. TERA was pretty small during Korea beta

    Or is it going to be that small in general is so must online games are alot bigger then this and thats meant there wont be alot to do

    I'm sure it's just for testing, although I'm not sure how big the full install of the "original" is/was.

    Enough to maybe warrant a sub forum in the "Other GAmes" section but not sure about division. The requirements still the same?

    I dunno, this game has always will always had a niche community of dedicated consumers. I dont believe it will be everyone's cup of tea but I do believe that if we wanted to we can build a strong small division at least from within.

    It might be good to have a sub forum set up in the Other games area just so we can post updates etc and keep track of who is playing :)

    Si Por Favor.... Would like to get an understanding on how many of us are really interested and to see if we can at least get a small division of XoO into this game.
