Q: how many creatures can be affected by this 7th level spell?

[Are]

Any number, as long as they're all within 30 ft. of eachother.

[Purple Dragon Knight]

wow... still limited to humanoids right? even still... it's the "muhahahahah" moment for any mage casting that on a mob... :)

Depending upon the way of counting the 5-ft squares it is a maximum of 24 or 32 medium-sized humanoids (with 24 being more often used count). Unless they are flying in a tight 3-D sphere then counting becomes troublesome.

oh, and giants, ogres and trolls are now humanoids too... :)

Only if they are all participating in combat. Outside of combat, you can shove a lot more people inside that area.

indeed... hence the mob comment... you'd be surprised to see how many people can fit in a 20ft-radius room! think large demonstration/gatherings/rock concerts...
