So now that the EU version of PSU is out, how many people are playing on the PS2/PC version now?

About the same as before i'd say, because it just so happens Guardian's Licenses were up just the other day, and a lot of people seemed to go bye-bye after that.

Right after last week's update Uni01 and 02 were full almost all the time. After the Guardian License renewal date passed, it's back to just being Uni01, as usual.

Nicely played, Sega. Nicely played. XD

Like RIGHT now? Universe 1 is at 4 stars and that is pretty much it. Then again its midday on a Friday. Give it a few hours and it'll be more like Universe 1 at 5 stars, Universe 2 at 3-5 stars, and Universes 7 and 15 at 1 star each or so. Its been that way for a couple weeks now, including the little spike RIOT mentions, which seems to have levelled out again.

edit: Agreed. Its closer to 2 full Universes on the weekends on Universes 1 and 2.

Hmm last weekend we had 5 stars for both universe 1&2 which is an improvement from before.

i read some where (think it was an old interview with ST) that each server can hold 1k max players each? dont know if thats the case now.

so id assume its 200 players for each star.

EDIT:


PSOW: Let's talk about the online aspect of Phantasy Star Universe for a bit. How many players will the online cities, or lobbies, support?

Takao Miyoshi: Basically, about 1,000 people are ported into one server, or the lobby as you may call it.

I remember reading that as well, so star=200 is my assumption as well, but I presume its also a variable they can tweak as desired.
