over 100 people online

hi everyone,

so I have started work on a game with a friend where a player can run around and fight other players or AI’s. it is a 2d game but we want there to be lots of people online at once. we were thinking of over 100 players per server.

my first idea was to go the unity online hosting site photon. this was because it is very easy to use and powerful. it also comes with a unity addon and it is free to start with. but I have heard that because it is room based it is a bad idea to have soo many people online at once. is that true

and if it is, how shall I do the networking.
I am experienced with unity but have done very little with networking.

Thanks everyone

Callum
