Ashes of Creation performance with 5,000 simulated players (pre-alpha).

Alpha-1 stress testing, March 17, 2021.

These are fully operational NPCs. They have behavior trees, they have AI blackboards; they are functioning as an NPC would; and to my surprise, to everyone's surprise actually, the server handled it quite well: 5000 entities all within a very dense area. – Steven Sharif

A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.
