Confused
Default is it possible to have a LAN party with ..a couple thousand people..?

the SAF Clan had a Crimson Skies 1000 plane LAN party back in 1999.. it was really WILD..!! CS had tiny maps.

i was wondering about reinacting some Historic Battles... . knife only or what ever.. get 1000 or more on each side and charge in ranks... Team win or last man standing. or all tanks.. endless possabiliities.

different tactics, could be interesting.. it could be fun.. if it can be done.. again

Probably more likely to be extremely limited possibilities as most games limit the number of slots in a given game. I'd hate to think of the power drain running several thousand modern PC systems. Need more than a single 3 phase I'm thinking.

A LAN party with hundreds or thousands is entirely possible,

But a single LAN game it is unlikely.

A hacked WOW server client could do it.

Thing is, 1000 player LANs aren't really common enough for developers to make games to accommodate such situations.
