Nuclear Glory just put something together. Is 250 the limit for the DBC commands?

umm, no game in existance could handle 250 ppl at once. You sure it's even 250? I thought the DX limit was lower.

Yea, you need to get the expansion pack from DarkMATTER.

There is actually a few games that support over 1000 players at once,
Like Citizen zero an EverQuest.

The multiplay capabilities on DBC go up to 255 people.

If you get DBPro it comes with the internet thingo for free.

Hope I helped

actually, most games seldom go over 10 users per server. Everquest and so forth have many servers which is why the high subscription fees. Tribes exceeds that number, but with really bad effects unless your on a lan.

How does that work? Do we install the client on our own computer that we set up with a connection and everything, or do you have servers set up and the client transfers data through your server?

[EDIT]
Nvm, just saw your thread in program announcements.
