The Xbox Live Silver account didn't exist for the original Xbox. It may simply require an internet connection, but it couldn't require a Silver account since that was introduced for the Xbox 360. I'll see if I can hook up my Xbox and give it a try. Cadwal 10:54, 19 December 2006 (CST)
The individual game servers support 4 players. The lobbies can support a lot, but usually when people look at "players" they think "How many players will I be playing along side" not "How many players can I chat with at one time?"
