Just because there aren't 20k people playing at once (which the server couldn't handle anyway) doesn't mean that the number of accounts in existence aren't in that range.

I'm not trying to flame you or anyone about this, but it was a Dev who said the number of accounts (either Rog or Uth during all the initial suspending).

The fact that some people think that 20% of the server was suspended just makes me LOL
I'm not saying 20k account aren't created. I'd find that easy to believe. It's likely that the most active players have all 3 of their LS accounts created and have toons on all of them.

I would, however, be surprised if more than, say, 3000 of those accounts were used on a weekly basis (in P99).

I'd be very interested to hear what's the unique IP or Person count in any given week so you could determine the number of people who actually log in.
