Max Number of Players?

Oh Wise Torque Gods (and Goddesses) I seek wisdom!

What is the max number of players youve ever had on a Torque multi with unmodified net code?

I'm not looking to reach MMO status, but id like to accommodate as many players per server as possible.
What I'm thinking about making is basically a big online game room with lots of turn based games(checkers, board games etc, and it should make lag a little better)

Thanks for your time
Nate

There is no hard limit on the number of players. It depends on how you target your network metrics, however, to determine how you will need to throttle usage. It may be number of players, number of ghosted instances, etc. It's not an easy question. I've seen huge numbers reported in these topics before, but I do not know how they were ghosted, etc.
