Does this have a status anywhere that shows you how many people are actually online?
I play Second Age and UOGamers Hybrid from time to time, both have alot of players, I know UOGamers Hybrids average player count is nearly 800 online at one time. Second Age has around 450 online average.
Basically I might try this out if it has enough players, shards like this tend to not be fun when you have too little players and too many of them sitting around britain bank doing nothing.
