Who wants my 106 mills? Yeah, I am serious...:) Anyway, Void server still holds the record of 118 active players, so come on, let's break it !!!
I'm sorry to burst your balloon, but that record has already been broken. When I get online with Freelancer, I check to see how many players are on the servers where I have characters. If I'm playing Discovery, I'll check how many players are on the vanilla servers before I toggle the settings to limit the display to Discovery servers. I've recently noticed increasing activity on the Jolt.co.uk vanilla server, possibly due to server events. Many times they have few players, but I've seen them maxed out at 50/50 and within the last two weeks I was amazed once to see Jolt.co.uk maxed out at 128/128. I didn't take a screen shot of it, because I hadn't read this thread, so I didn't know it was that significant an achievement. If I recall correctly, I used to see numbers that high on a regular basis on a few servers back in 2004-2005, including the raw vanilla server and the Armageddon Evolutions server, both servers where I had characters.
Edited to add the quotes and comments below:

The screen could also show some nice scenery. That would get you a nice undisclosed bonus with the 128mill credits:)

My family is from Uruguay (where sarcastic humor is a popular pastime) and Argentina (where sarcastic humor is a national obsession, only exceeded by the passion for soccer), so I immediately recognized AC_Merc's response as a sarcastic joke.

Neither I want to see a player logging in with many computers or users at a time to make it. Such attempt will get you 128 reasons to get sanctioned.
Korrd: Since you're from Argentina, I couldn't believe that you didn't recognize AC_Merc's response as a sarcastic joke. Don't let other Argentines find out that you didn't recognize a sarcastic joke made by an American (AC_Merc) or you might lose your Argentine citizenship!:P
By the way, my mother was from Salto, Uruguay and my father was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, but grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
