  I was talking about the actual characters.  By armory they are around 
650-ish, not played for a year. Oh hey, they are still in their guilds 
who were punting inactives back then, must not be very active now.

I could have 25 active followers with bunker and 15-20 inactive per 
character on rotation for quest needs equals 250+ back then. Before 
ships and Tannan Jungle and flying.

Now playing Total Annihilation from 1997 and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 
from 1999. 400 fighter airfleets don't get bogged down on a modern 
processor unlike a 400MHz processor back then :-)  Some games refuse to 
run. Others take 20 years in their stride. Shows how well programmed 
some were.

XCOM2 looks good to try because it is turn based.
The Division was looking good,  a bit WOW-ish to start.
But it only came out March 8 and there are already streamers at 40ish 
being Uber at everybody so NOPE.
