In Meridian 59 I regularly saw 8-10 people on screen at one time in
social gatherings... In UO we regularly see 30-40, with peaks at over
100. In text muds I also see regularly 8-10 with peaks of 30-40 in a
single room... you're going to need to handle more. :( Some sort of LOD
(level of detail based on total poly count) or something like what
Shiny's Messiah engine is doing is really a must, but that adds
significantly to your development time.

Tiles are easy, really (comparatively speaking); your figures to run
around on them are the hard part. ;) Buildings fall somewhere in
between.
