" @Jimbo: It's in the official FAQ   http://www.apb.com/faq/#5 "

"Each game world or server has a limit of 10,000 players concurrently online. These players will be playing on district maps which each hold up to 100 players for action districts or 250 players for social districts. Each world has 100’s of these district maps so although a single action district has a 100 player limit, there is no limit to the number of other players you will encounter. For the individual players who top the leagues, their character will become famous across the whole world, not just one district. It’s a brand new gaming concept where the players are the game, full of unique and innovative tools and game play."
 
Interesting, either that's worded exceptionally badly or Dave Jones' answer in the interview was incorrect (which I consider unlikely).
 
I'm gonna stick with my original explanation where each 'instance' of 'The City' will hold 100 players (though it looks like I should have said 'instances' instead of 'servers)'.  I don't think one 'Action District of 100 players' will be physically joined to another, different 'Action District of 100 players' - I believe they will be replicas (near enough) of the same place which you will be able to switch between from a menu / drop down.
 
 I hope I'm wrong though, because the FAQ answer sounds about 1000 times better.

It had it's share of problems, but it was still a great game.  At least they tried to make something a little innovative rather than staying in the 'current gen' comfort zone that has been formed.  Like so many Ubisoft games, I feel it was just a few odd design decisions away from being considered a masterpiece.  Whilst it may not technically be as graphically impressive as Crysis, for my money it's the best looking game to date.
 
I will always appreciate games like this - even with their flaws - more than say Gears 2 and the 101 other cover shooters we've been subjected to this gen.

If enough people want to watch ad-free television then the BBC should be able to survive on a subscription model.  It can't and so half of us are forced to pay for the other half's entertainment.  The reason the content on all the other stations is largely terrible is because it has to unfairly compete with the BBC.
 
The news side of it has some merit in theory, but in practice they are just biased towards the establishment instead of being commercially biased.  I put BBC News 24 on the other day just before going to work, to see what was going on in the world, and I had to watch some silly cunt playing conkers.  Great, worth every penny.
 
With few exceptions, the only decent television in recent years has been made by HBO.  The only decent shows to come out of the UK in recent years that I can think of are Planet Earth (BBC) and The Inbetweeners (Channel 4).

" @Jimbo:  The 100 player thing is per city district and the city will have about 10. Some of those will be social neutral districts holding up to 200-300 people. I have been following this game very closely, you may even call me a fanboy.   What worries me though is that their servers cost 30 millions dollars. They will most definitely have micro-transactions or something of the like. "
I don't know where you got that from, but I'm pretty certain you are wrong.  According to the man himself, its 100 per city (aka. server) and $30M is the total development cost of APB inc. infrastructure.

This argument is not original at all and contributes nothing to this discussion.  Thanks for your opinion on the matter, though. "
Well thank fuck I wasn't looking for your approval then, eh sweet cheeks? xx

In fact, the entire idea behind 'Gaygamer' is retarded, imo.  I hate it when people bitch about equality, then take every opportunity to segregate themselves and define themselves entirely by one facet of their personality, which they claim they shouldn't be judged for in the first place.  If you don't want x to be an issue then stop using it to draw attention to yourself.  What next?  Blondegamer?  Tallgamer?  Jebus.

Because it wouldn't really be fair on you?

That's ok, you can forfeit the argument/s, I don't mind.
