Nation Wars numbers

This is more out of curiosity than anything else: how many people in each server attend to nation wars on average?

This thread (for whatever reason I can't code the link, so here it is: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1533731) mentions around 600 on HL and 1200 on DW. Seems to be a lot of a difference, and makes HL look like a very innactive server.

I play on DW, and 1200+ is quite accurate.

Another question is: to the current map, what would be the ideal number of players in your opinion? 1200 seems to be a bit more than ideal, getting people of a losing nation locked in base pretty much every NW.

And, looking a bit further, what would be the ideal number of players for NW when we get the new map they have in China?

In my opinion, this new map seems to be a bit too large for 1200 players, on the other hand. Guess we'll have to wait and see. But we can give opinions right away.

    Lost City has around 1000~1100 players per week. Its over 250 players per nation. I've been in some NW on French server and I was quite surprised with the difference. While in Lost City there are almost always 20 vs 20 fights. In Morgammon server its a lot of fight 8 vs 4 lol.

    At the end even if u are in a losing nation u can hit 200+ tokens per week of the French server, while to get same result on Lost City you gotta be in winning nation, hit over 15k points and pray to not get send back to base while trying to move to another land and not get land locked.
    Because size really MATTERS!!!

    Keep in mind you can only do battle in the perimeter lands of the nations territory. Even though the new map has 60 percent more land the perimeter should only be 30 percent more. The biggest difference is going to be the 6 lands around the nation HQ rather than 4. This will make lock-in more difficult and less costly.

    Well I was in the 3rd place nation with about 16k personal credit, and got 200 tokens on DW server (1200 people roughly), so I guess it does depend on your nation's credit in the end rather than what place they come in.

    HL gets around 1000-1100 each NW. That other person can't count.
