This is 2002 not 1996, and at the time, with the population trends for games, Gemstone was a massive multiplayer game because its population was high compared to other games out there. Just because 200 people isn't a big deal now, doesn't mean it wasn't a big deal 6 years ago, hell pretty much any game out there would have killed to have a playerbase of 200 people total in 1996 let alone having it at peak time.
