Simutronics, the developer of MMO engine HeroEngine, has announced a “Volume 1″ update to the engine. According to Simutronics the engine now supports 100,000 concurrent online users. HeroEngine is the engine behind BioWare Austin’s upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Now HeroEngine supports more than 100,000 concurrent players in a single shard. Utilizing HeroEngine’s new Seamless World technology, developers can create virtual areas that transparently connect together to build single seamless worlds as large as they require in order to achieve their vision. There is no limit on how large a single seamless world can be, and seamless worlds themselves can even be instanced as needed to meet specific gameplay or product requirements. The maximum capacity per shard will grow even larger as the HeroEngine team continues development of inter-world scalability.
More information can be found out at HeroEngine’s official website as well as Simutronic’s corporate website.
