hard to stress test with 100 on...
So from 50k+ there are 750 with beta invite and only 100 which are playing.

btw: did you guys noticed that the beta invite timer is now 15 min for each pick?

It makes me feel bad knowing that they have some pretty crappy hardware. I mean, a lot of D3 players are going to be switching over to PoE due to PoE being the spiritual successor while D3 is like a mini-WoW game. They are glad by only 100 people? They are in for some serious trouble in the future. Being a completely 100% F2P game, I wonder how much trouble they are going to be in when it comes to affording the big server hardware/equipment/etc.

The devs are increasing the player count slowly so as to not destroy the servers.

Some of the invited accounts are obviously inactive. GGG will probably put out more keys once they notice this.

they will make options to purchase stuff im sure, look at league of legends the same thing happened there, it was a f2p game, with purchaseable content, now it has thousands who play it, and there is alot of things u can buy, i see this game doing the same.
One step at a time

League got far because the devs are great and know the feeling of a company that sells power. They utterly refused to sell power, if GGG does the same as Riot Games, PoE will go far.

What an explanation! I stand corrected by your intellectual prowess.

They already had a good infrastructure in place and was already able to service thousands of players. We're talking about a company who gets excited over 100 players - it worries me since it is such a small number. They should be going for 1000 before they are glad.
