Their goal is only 1000 on a single shard? Thats a far cry from a true MMO experience….

Depends on how they're going to define "shard" going forward. I doubt it's planned as 1000 people spread over all 5 systems (if we're talking about 1.0 release), especially with the amount of points of interest they're planning to plop all over each celestial body. Perhaps that's just the next step of what we have and not what they're aiming for with 1.0?
