Thread: APB

I read a bit more the other day. I see where they said 100 person server and 10000 ppl world i thought i read. So if i gather it right its just like a zone in other games but they capped how many ppl could go into a zone or area at 100 ppl but there will be 10k on the server.

Thats the way i read it. Though I could be wrong.

Anyone else read it that way or am I totally off base?

Found this on Gamespot:

For all you ppl that don't know it will not be 100 ppl per city but instead 10,000 ppl per server and 100 ppl per district and over 500 cities .

Looked around Google and there seems to be a lot of confusion over it, but the quote above seems to be the correct version of what will happen. So 100 players in each area, but 10,000 per server.

Words from the creator...

'As we layered the customization, as more and more people got involved, we took a look at it and realized, "Hey, wait a minute... This is a whole separate product in and of itself." ' - like the Spore Creature Creator!

I wouldn't be surprised if they released the character creator before the actual retail game like Spore did. I have to admit though, I think I'm more excited for car customization.

Dont you think the Spore Creature Creator is just another character customizing tool? Like the elements of most RPG games. All game titles are just cannibalizing pieces from other games and media. They try to make them different and new by adding some new graphics and "great storyline". :/ Yeah right
