Is the estimate of no more than 70,000 players sourced somehow, or original research? It seems pretty unlikely to me that there were that many multis in Planetarion. 80.202.98.214 12:57, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Best source I have is http://www.clawofdarkness.com/pawiki/index.php/Round_5, this can generally be trusted, but it's not really proof
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-27153.html gives verbatim round 5 post by Spinner. http://www.princegaz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/planetarion/news2001.html also gives information detailing pay-to-play change. Despair 21:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
God, I remember playing this back in high school; can't believe it's still a going concern. Mackensen (talk) 02:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I've checked in on the last few debates on whether to keep this page or not. Obviously I'm not entirely unbiased in this respect, but given the fact that the game has been running for seven years, has had well over a 100,000 active accounts during it's most popular times, has spawned several other online games in its genre and has been played at several of two hugely popular LAN events, I think it's notable enough to keep an article about. Given the fact that even in a Wikipedia discussion there are many people stating that they have played the game at some point, it should indicate that at the very least knowledge of the game's existence is rather widespread on the Internet. My actual question though, is what kind of sources would make this game qualify as notable - considering that the game's zenith was about 4-5 years ago, most fansites and sites actively featuring PA will have ceased to exist or have moved on, and I doubt one of the early popular games will feature in many articles of scientific value.
