Private Server

[Mars]

Now, this might sound a bit far fetched. But I was thinking that there could be a hardcore server that could only hold a certain amount of players.
This hardcore server could have 5500 players. (500 players in each village) and players would have to apply to play this server. It could be a server with experienced players and players that will take the game seriously.
It could be used so that each village won't have a million players in it at the same time. It would not use instances and things like that.
It could be were everyone's life meant something and all the players knew all the important shinobi.
The reason I'm suggesting this is because in most MMO's all the main cities will have thousands of players in the same place all at once and this would counter that.
Maybe everyone on the server would have to pay something like $5 a month to play there, to keep the cost of the server.
I'm sure a lot of people with support this idea as they want a server with a good community and no scammers, spammers and annoying/difficult players.

I know this probably won't be possible, but please say if you like the idea.

Different servers would probably be possible, but, we won't have many active players all at once, in the chatbox we see people saying good night, when in our place is still evening. Yes we might have lots of active players in a couple of months, but i don't see different servers something needed since villages will be apart,  the map will most likely big enough to "spread" thousands of players. But if the server becomes overpopulated or just "laggy", then is a good idea to create a second server.
I do know MMO's that have different servers with different events and all that, but I don't think SLO would need many servers.

Millions of players at the same time is not possible. In fact, 2000 players on a single server would be really pushing our current technology to the limit.

Well, will we have multiple servers to play on?
So if 2000 players wanted to play, 1000 could go on server 1 and 1000 could go on server 2?

That's the plan, as many servers as needed to support the entire player base.

If player logs on to server 1 and increases his stats, would he get his newly gained stats if he logged on to server 2?

Yes.

Different servers will only even out the amount of people on it, not change your character from one server to the other. Its not like your character is different on different servers, your character still is the same and all stats, items, etc are saved.
