Server Population Check
May 4th, 2015 at 6:25pm
Print Post  
Time of check was 2:30 to 3:30pm Pacific time. Method was counting all players in the "Who" Panel


Wayfinder:          90
Orien:                335
Ghallanda (sp?):  341
Sarlona:             385
Cannith:             429
Argonnessen:      320
Thelanis:            341
Khyber:             352



Weaknesses:

-Not a peak time
-Doesn't answer very well how many play overall

Strengths:

-Gives a good idea of RELATIVE populations of servers
-Does give us SOME idea of how many people play overall (basis for ballparking)

  

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Hey Meat.  Long time no see.

Two things really surprising about this:
1. Ghallanda stayed up long enough for you to count.
2. Wayfinder = 90.  WTF???  When did Wayfinder hit double digits?

2-3k on non-peak time is certainly more than I had expected, although I wonder how many people play on anonymous.

Every time I do this I get the people like Sasha wondering about anonymous. My response is the same:

The people who are anonymous are canceled out by the dual+ boxers.

I am actually curious as to how an accurate count can be made, if it's even possible.

Although, a few thousand people compared to the millions of drooling button mashers playing WoW seems paltry considering the amazing IP Turbine was gifted (even if the Eberron campaign setting sucks it.)

Nah. Anon is quite common. Boxers, not so much. Also, not putting your box on anon is just silly.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Why are they waiting to merge servers? That's a real question.

The question I have most is how there can be so much fucking lag when the load should be fairly negligible?

What background process could be eating up so many resources that entire instances can freeze for 15 minutes?  Is Tolero using the servers to edit videos of their pacman larps, convert those pacman larp videos to avi format, then from avi to wmv, then from wmv to mp4; finally then uploading those pacman larp mp4s to every video site on the internet?  If so, fucking tell her to stop!

I think you assume the servers are somewhat current/new.  They might be running 486DX/20s for all we know.
