The pop numbers from project1999.org are the same numbers provided by the server list. I would bet these numbers are "people connected to the server", which would include people sitting at character select. These accounts (people) are logged into the server, but do not have a character in the game world (therefore would not show up on a /who count). 26 seems very reasonable in that case.

Yeah, I'm on board with this accounting for the discrepancy. People tend to take sudden and/or long afks from EQ, or just log off their character for a bit to stay safe but intend to come back, so it makes sense there would be quite a few people just sitting at the log in screen.

I'm quite surprised that there are so many freaking druids. Everything I've read has always seemed to indicate clerics + shamans > druids at high levels. But I guess there are a lot of solo players/farmers who are in it for the travel spells, heals and kiting. Now that I think about it, sounds more or less like what Live was like back in 2000.
