Condition of server

[purist]

The maximum number of players logged in simultaneously on the P99 server in its entire history was ~1.1k during Kunark release day. It is a pretty hard sell to try to convince us that anything even close to 20,000 individual people actively play P99 currently.

It would be much more accurate if the devs would release information how many IP addresses were involved in the banning compared to how many IPs actively play on the server.

If they did that, my guess is the % of people banned is closer to 1/3rd of the active playerbase.

Active accounts have been reported in the 20,000's or so.

So, we never reach 1k users anymore. What's an *active* account? 20k seems super high.

Why is it that people find 20k accounts so hard to believe? No, not all 20k people will ever be logged in at once. Yes, many people have multiple accounts. Does that change the numbers behind it? No.

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.

lmao you can't read.


20k accounts != 20k unique users


edit: Not to mention Amelinda, in EC last night stated that a good chunk of the accounts we're suspended due to people boxing.

NO ONE IS CLAIMING THAT THERE ARE 20,000 UNIQUE PEOPLE WHO PLAY ON P1999

This post is to quote irony.

Reading this forum brings back memories.

The devs set out to recreate classic EQ, and in the process they recreated classic EQVault.

If you are an old timer, you will know what I mean...
