Unless I'm misunderstanding that site (and it's a little hard to read IMO), that's an average of around 700 players per server per day, with peaks of no more than 1500 o_O
If that's even ballpark, that 40k active connections figure is (and I mean this without insult) laughable. I kind of knew this because 40k active connections is in the realms of CCP's server tech, and that stuff is world-wide and absolutely cutting edge. I suspect it may even exploit some unreported quantum bug in time and space [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That WoW data may not be current/complete though...

Yes you are misunderstanding. warcraft realms is a ui mod that hasn't been in wide use since 2008. Based on census data back then there were times when the mod picked up over 35,000 active connections on a server. They extrapolated that the cap was at 40k. Keep in mind that some servers are rated for higher load than others.
Nowadays, servers work in clusters and 'battlegroup realms' where there are several servers together. Almost all content is instanced, and this mod is no longer up to date.
Also, and I know this won't get me far in internet fake-world points, I work in software and have several friends that work @ Blizzard who corroborate 'more or less' these numbers, back when I was an active player (2004-2009). I obviously have no proof and won't use it as a pedestal, but I have no real reason to lie, either.
