Not sure if Discord is a good proxy for server population. Many casuals in game have never heard of discord.
It's been a minute since I was doing stats in any kind of meaningful way. But I bet you server population is a Pareto 80/20 situation. The players with many hours played most likely only account for about 20% of total server population. The other 80% of server population may be more casual with not many hours in game, but regularly popping in a few hours a week.
Both player types would both count as one player while only that first one shows up in Discord stats. As in casuals are the hidden players that keep materializing out of nowhere.
They just don't play the game like the hardcore 20% does.

This is kind of not the right way to look at it. Someone logging in a couple times a month doesn't really equate to a "healthy" player base of 5 figures. Really what you should be doing is looking at how many people log in at least a couple times a week for a minimum of X hours each time. That's a much better indicator of the population because you should be defining it based on people who are actually somewhat active.
So if you said how many people log in at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 2 hours each time, for instance, I bet you're not hitting 10,000 people.
