  ithink your number og 175-200.000 could fit for people applying for beta ,

but getting into beta and testing beta i find alot, never heard of so many people betatesting a game before, but then i dont really have an idea about this , logic just tells me it is more logical they wil lget 10.000  people or smth to stress test the server

Well, if they run open beta on a single server then we're talking about 10,000 - 30,000 maybe.

I expect demand will run higher than Aventurine's capacity.  Like muffins said, if they only have the one server, I doubt the could have more than...30,000-60,000.  And since we are talking FREE access to game that many will be curious about, I think demand could indeed run as high as 200,000. 

However, I dont think 200,000 will want to buy the game at launch, or even a number half of that.  So it is doubtful that Aventurine would spend the money for any more servers than they expect to have at launch.  This begs the question - how will everyone that wants to try before they buy get the chance?

well im not sure about the amount of servers that will be up for open beta, but as i recall it was stated that supposedly anyone will be able to try before they buy. idk if this means huge open beta or a free trial. i hope its not a free trial.

I do think you are underestimating the numbers here.

 

They are definitely going to have more than 250k.

Agree. I think they will use more then one single server though.
