DX 12

Actually, that's not true. What makes W3 graphics extremely heavy is lighting and post processing, both of which are almost entirely independent from on-screen geometry (what matters is screen resolution). Adding hundreds of characters might be a little too much for current graphics cards, but it should be easily achievable in a generation or two.
That's just graphics though. There are bigger problems when making a game like that (network, CPU...).

Hopefuly, one day ping won`t be a problem.

Until then though...

Yeah, I play Warband like that. However I used to play cRPG last few months using WSE2 and it worked well. Didn't work well for six months previous to that but that was because I was running it in windowed full screen mode and for some reason that was killing my FPS.
