Live server population

Please provide a screenshot of classic EQ showing numbers on the screen, and not a 3rd party app skimming numbers. This app did have a dev reply stating it was accurate, but at no time after launch has verant/soe/dbg provided verified live population numbers. Sorry, but your recollection seeing population numbers in the actual EQ login screen is wrong.

Someone already showed you patch notes from when Verant removed the raw numbers. Is that not good enough for you?

More proof that there are people on this forum who never actually played EQ back then, but lie and claim they did presumably because they think it gives them "street cred" on this board. As everyone who was actually there is well aware, server populations were visible right there at the server select screen for years. There are pictures of that login screen floating around the internet, including some that have been posted on this very forum.

I will back this up. Brell Serilis ranged between 900 to 1200 players during pre Kunark, and Fennin Ro was one of the big winners with a pop ranging about 30-40% higher. Poor little Lanys T'val opened with like 750 at launch and then started dipping downwards. I don't recall when the numbers stopped being shown, but they were there initially for quite a while on the server select screen.

Imagine being this aggressively wrong.

Server select screen def showed each server population for quite a while. Unfortunately back then when I was a wee teenager I didn't save print-screen screenshots of it to prove to people later.

lol just realized he’s the same guy that started the thread about the likelihood of p99 getting shut down by Daybreak and losing his progress. Real winner we’ve got on our hands.

The percentage of players on drugs is aggressively high.

** Miscellaneous Updates **

- The server selection screen now only gives information on whether or
not a server is up instead of providing player counts. In addition, the
"count" option on the /who command has been restricted to internal
personnel. Servers on the server selection screen are still ordered
from least-populated to most populated in order to assist players in
choosing the least populated server.
