Impressed, but 1 indepth question

Hi there,

I have to say that so far I am very impressed with the game so far. Liking it a lot. But I do have 1 question though, I'm noticing a lot of servers with 80+ people on them with little to no lag. How exactly did you guys pull this off? A lot of other games have a hard time even keeping 16 people up. Is this the normal Warband net code or did you guys write something yourselves?

warband has surprisingly good netcode.

apart from that, it's a matter of feeding the machine a lot of cpu, bandwidth and ram.

C-RPG servers just have better bandwidth. Most native servers are either low-budget or are hosting several different games. The official ones by taleworlds are actually the same servers used for the forums.

Joint Ops Typhoon Rising was an FPS Shooter like battlefield that had 150 players max per server, and featured  tanks/helos/hovercraft/etc. and that came out in 2004.

Just depends on what the developers want to do with their game I guess, warband was pretty much exclusively the addition of the multiplayer and a grab bag of the most interesting mods for M&B.
