I don't believe those numbers, 17,000 for a game? I have never heard of it before.

 

[Redleg]

Those numbers are amazing, and they are real...

Just take a look inside the forum, they have several threads with over 200,000 replies...

The largest one I've found in there have over 600,000 replies, and it's over 40,000 pages long!
That's more posts in just one thread than the total number of posts here at NP.. :o

The PHPbb script is of course highly modified by the Gaia team, and they use many servers to run it.
You can find some of the modifications and tweaks here:

GaiaOnline was hackable when that phpbb problem was released. I'm suprised that nobody did any damage to it. IE-MAking thier pages redirect.

 

[Nunim]

and their game is still in alpha damm? They must lose so much money.
