what jesper means is that the admins stated that it is indeed a bug, but it is one that they won't fix until the next world cup.
so next world cup, there will be only 50 players for each country again

When it's documented... it's not a bug, it's a feature! Just a little misunderstanding I guess.

We used to say that all the time in EverQuest.

What server were you on? I was on Innoruuk which turned into Nameless.

Played on Bristlebane and I left before they merged all the servers, as out guild kind of fell apart when World of Warcraft, EQ2 and various others were released. No other game has ever been able to capture the "magic" the way EverQuest did. First MMO I played and still the best game ever. We still have guild meets every 2 years and the game have given me quite a few friends for life.

I met Brad McQuaid (the creator of EQ) at E3 a few years ago when he was promoting Vanguard. To me, it would be equivalent to meeting Adrian Peterson. I'd love for something to capture me the way EQ did, but I don't think it's possible anymore...and probably wouldn't be healthy for me at this point in my life, since I played that game for 7 years and had more than a year of /played time on my main.

I led one of the top guilds on our server. I can't put that on a resume, but that experience did more for me in terms of leadership than any kind of management position could have. I grew up in Norrath. And I have friends from that game that I've never met that mean more to me than friends in real life. One gave me $250 as a loan when I moved to California and was having troubles making ends meet at first. Then told me to forget about it when I tried to pay it back. I have family that probably wouldn't do that.

Anyway...I recently caught a glimpse of some discussion of the latest expansion. Almost dragged me back in...and I still have the game installed on my computer, heh. I have to laugh at people when they tell me some story about how good their character in WoW is...they'll never have the connection to that character that a lot of us had with our EQ characters. I've played both games...WoW is about instant gratification. EQ was about delayed gratification...and it was a lot sweeter that way.

Oh...what does this have to do with the topic.

Ummm...in EverQuest, I led raids with 72 people, so that's more than 50 players.
