Now what makes anyone say that theres over 100,000 players on potco a day, every ocean would be ideal and busy.
Ok, looks like I know POTCO can't have even near 100,000 players at one time because "Full" labeled servers can have a capacity of 1,000 players at once.

1,000 x 30 for all full = 30,000

and seeing how most servers are labeled "Quiet", it explains why disney could be on edge with funds and hire people who aren't "top-of-the-line" at programming, or even near to compete with a retail product.

So, just call this game a "community project" rather than a "big boy business" project.
