Is there a limit to how many users can be in chat at once?

Question

Is there a potential maximum number of users that can use the chat room at one time? Or is it just based on how much strain the server can take? Just curious.

Answer 1

I'll quote Pokemaster's words:

There is no limit. I've been on when a lot of people have been on, and it's always worked pretty well.
It may slow down with 100+ people all on at once but it's unlikely to stop working.

I'll BA but I was hoping for specifics. like if there was a theoretical number where it'd just shutdown because it can't cope, like 300,000 users or something dumb.

We should test it out. One, it'll answer this question, two, it will revive chat.

If we really tried, wouldn't a bunch of people be accused of making duplicate accounts?

I'll take a wild guess and say that if we ever happen to be 400+ at once, it would shutdown. 300,000 users is way too much.
