I was asked what the largest turnout for a PAS event was.
For an ingame regular event, we had about 30-35 for several of the old shard war battles (pvp with and vs a number of other guilds).
For a PAS Xmas party, we had 53 players ingame attend one of those. For a Sonoma Alliance event, the Battle of Trinsic saw those 30-35 players along with about 60 of our allies, so almost 100 players. Lag lag lag.
Those records were set a LONG time ago (both within the first few years of UO).
And I'm certain we crashed the shard once during one of our events. We had about 30 PAS, another 30-40 allies, and we fought about the same number of enemies. So about 120-130 players all in about 12 screens. The battle started, everyone started lagging, and one by one we crashed. When we tried to get back in, the login server was down for Sonoma (for about 2 hours). ROFL we decided to try again the next night and had less players, and the battle went on for an hour and the server stayed up
oh and we won
