I'm sure if we tally it over the next few weeks the numbers will be closer to 60 than 40. Honestly I'm not saying anything about the numbers despite it must be very easy to kill dragons with even 50-60 players on at any given mob spawn and it does double your advantages whether you want to believe it or not. And as I said I think the system is kinda flawed either way, in any instance you will have people exploiting every side of every mechanic to gain the edge, its EQ nature.
No, 48 was people logging in for a batphone that just said "Get to VP. Suspension lifted." So nobody thought we were suspended, and we had our best numbers for that particular batphone. Everyone left their VP chars at VP as they were instructed, because we were sure the suspension would be lifted before the windows opened.

We had 46 for the Gore kill. We had 35 for the wipe.

A random repop nets far more people than any other target. Especially at peak hours like it was.

Our average would be definitely be closer to 40, not 60. My original figures were pretty accurate. More specifically I'd say 35 early morning, 45 mid day, 60 for something like a peak hours PD pop.

You're wrong on all points, really.
