Does Anyone remember server pop numbers?

[slouth]

I was curious what type of numbers were logged in from release to Luclin time frame.

Thanks in advance

I am not positive, but........ I played on "The Rathe" and I remember 10k people on just my server.

[Chanus]

Hrmm... if you can read that chart, it looks like about 450,000-500,000ish around Luclin's release (Dec 2001).

At any given time there were usually about 20-25 servers running then, so 20k per server?

[Chanus]

Actually, when was the first merge? There may have been more servers then.

Sony has 300k subscribers across all their games right now.

WoW! (see what I did there?)

I think there was something like 1500-2500 logged in on the servers at peak times. I'll have to check with my bro, he saw a bunch of that info during the summit in San Diego.

I remember at around the time when they stopped showing server numbers, which I believe happened on 9/11 coincidentally, the population on Tallon Zek regularly hit 3k concurrent users in primetime. And we were usually one of the lowest populations.

Here are some data points of how many people were logged into the server at a time, when they still listed it. This is from www.monkly-business.com in archive.org

Funny how, after World of Warcraft, Runescape seems to be the game with the most growth.

[Omnimorph]

What's worrying is that WoW hasn't had a population decline... at all.

[quellren]

I think WoW is tweaking the numbers.
I suspect they are counting every subscription thats ever been registered and paid even a single 15$ month sub. to make the numbers seem huge.
I have no doubt that they have millions of active subs, but as an example,
Over the years I've had 3 accounts that I've played, but only one was active and able to log into a server at a time.
I'm going to assume that Blizzard counts all 3 in that 10 million because none of them have been suspended and *could* be paid for and played at any moment.

wtf is Lineage, I have never even heard of that. And it was more popular than eq? Why aren't we playing that right now? WTF rogean.

Lineage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineage_(computer_game)) is a Korean MMO. It's very big in Asia. Lineage II was a sequel here in the US under NC Soft.
