Each server will be able to host 5,000 concurrent players.

[Elitper]

then how many players can register per server? and if you play on 1 and you see full you can go server 2 with your char?

We only know that there will be servers for US, EU, Asia, Oceanic/Australia.
About the population, see endrance post.
Don't know about L2 servers, but you can check WoW unofficial stats servers here

As far as I know that info hasn't been released yet. But I doubt you will be able to switch servers after making a character on one. As soon as a server is full/nearly a set limit registrations on that server will probably be denied. I could be wrong about that one though.

NCSoft can enlarge the servers population, or propose free migration to player for balancing population between servers

CBT Interview - 18/10/07

Yes, the interview said 5,000, but also its more or less common knowledge for any mmo follower, the average mmo game holds about 4,000 - 5,000 per server.

for sure u can create toons on several servers.
they will not block any more creation of toon if server is over populated.
problem will be that u will not be able to log always(doubt that this will ever happen lol)

Actually, it happens quite a bit. Yes you can make characters on a full server like you said, but if the server is full, you can't login.

Being unable to login happened to be often on the Thunderhorn server on World of Warcraft and a few times on City of Heroes. While usually it is a rare occurrence, weekends and holidays are usually the peak times people play and the MOST likely you may be blocked out. But like i said, it doesn't happen often.

u also have several time zones.
if u have like 7k active accounts on a server but some only play during afternoon and others during night.

But if the server limit is 5k accounts, why would it get full if there're no more accounts that can access the server?

Theres no limit on how many accounts can make characters. Sooo you could have 8k characters but a 5k limit, so 3k couldn't login but it isnt usually a problem since not everyone lives in one time zone.

If there are going to be servers for US, EU, Asia, Oceanic/Australia separately, that won't be the case.
