Just to make it clear to people, I simply asked for an actual number please don't use my question as a means to complain and whine like dragonisser has stated it's a stress test whilst I still hold my opinion of attempting to logon at the moment as pointless it's natural they aren't currently able to hold thousands of people.
Like me just find something else to do in the meantime and try again once a new dev post is made/ an update happens.
I understand that the devs don't owe us anything but it would be nice to know how many players are currently able to play at a time, if it's a high number than it's worth keep trying but if it's in fact only around the 200-400 mark than it becomes kind of a waste of time to try to log on.
