Very Nice,

Long ago worked on a 90 million dollar flight sim with 20 men in the loop
and lots of AI. If you ever played falcon 4.0 then you played against my
aircraft AI. But 10K players is insane. Sounds very cool.

Wonderful!

My dissertation's on the scalability of massively multiplayer video
games.  I'm taking the Torque (www.garagegames.com) engine and making
it scale to as many simulated users as I can handle.  I can get access
to the VT Supercomputer, so that should be at least 10k simulated
users.  That number really depends on how well I can tweak out the
simulator (a full running copy of the game, with rendering turned off
and an AI controlling the player).
