Req is correct. The limit is I believe 54 local users. It has been rare to encounter anymore for obvious reasons. Was a big problem a couple years ago when the main server would go down and actually 50+ people were warring. That never happens anymore tho so it's super rarely an issue lately.

Was high key part of the reason many clans migrated to scourges server a couple years ago tho. When we were doing 50v50 and stuff it was a HUGE PROBLEM. I've been a part of multiple warchats getting canceled over that limit, but all were years ago at this point.

Edit: confirmed it's 54. Currently 20 users/bots idle, so an influx of even 34 users could hit the limit. In other words, it's still possible to encounter it with even this tiny community. Were clans like mercs and such still on the server, or if LaF were to have joint wars with scourge based clans such as sol and choose to use the evolution server for chats, you'd still absolutely run into people unable to connect. Most clans have discord relays now, so it probably wouldnt be a big deal, but you can absolutely clog the pipes by opening a pile of web based IRC clients and maxing the limit by yourself. Just did it and it absolutely wouldnt let number 55 connect haha.
