Lets use a typical cheap VPS server where your getting a slice. To keep the question simple, lets start with just a hosted chat room. What do you think the upper limit would be? 50, 100, or even 200 people? Are there any hard limits such as max connections?

I know this question has been asked a hundred times before but my searches found nothing. I may have even been one of the people to ask about it. :P

My 512 Slicehost server can hold over 100 players in IU. I didn't notice any lag coming from anything other than the near-constant streaming of resources and my own poor internet connection.

Although not a direct answer, 100 players in a heavily resource intensive game should at least give you something to go on. (Considering of course, IU is also a chat room, and during that period, there was a constant, never-ending stream of world and view chat messages.)

You also have to bare in mind that Mobius is a very seasoned DM programmer.
