Well even on Classic the player count was only above 250 for a few days, on July 4th 2000 there were around 400 players on it. Actually there were already playerworlds/subservers at that time, but the player count was added on top of the Classic player count (Kharlia and my test world).
I would say that an online community cannot be much bigger, people are forming groups. It's our goal though to bring the people from the different servers together, make it possible for people to easily communicate with players from other servers, globally announce events and such.
