Originally, you could do a / all count

It would show you the total players on your server at the time.

agreed i remember this.

i also thought there wasn't a limit on the number of players returned when you did something like / all unrest (at least if there was a limit it was 100 or more)

I dunno, I remember the population being around 800 on my server back in the day when they still showed actual numbers... can't be positive though.

The 2000ish figure was from late Kunark or Velious.

You could / all count for a long time.

If I had to guess, prekunark figures were 1000-1500 online, tops. That is my guess though, hopefully we will find real figures somehow.

This was most definitely classic... it was removed later.. about the time it showed more than 2000 results? Can't remember specifically, but I know I never saw more than 2000 with a / all count.

It would always show.

There are _____ players on Erollisi Marr.
and.. Countt chocula, the enchanter, if he happened to be online.

This was summer, 99.

I remember the exact same thing (even the same server!) but for total. Then a guy showed up who was named Total, and it would fuck it up.

More about count..

2001

During a server downage, Ester the Tester came into the General Chat room. She was asked if, since the number of players is no longer displayed, the ability to do “/who all count” would be disabled. Much to my (and many other’s) suprise/disgust, she answered “yes.”

From 2008..

With "/who all count" you can check if there are 200+ or less players on a server. Numbers above 200 will be mapped to 200.
You can however do:
/who all 1 10 count - count all players between level 1 and 10
Or:
/who all cleric count - count all Clerics
For all levelranges or classes.
This way you can get numbers higher than 200, by adding the single results.

So, I'd say it gave a current total player number prior to Luclin.

Odd question, and probably asked before, but is there anyway to load up the original character screen?

[Myth]

Good question. I miss the old character select

Peak prime time numbers just before kunark were 6-800 across the board. Servers had a HARD time with 1400+ players, and would do nasty shit. I'm sure you all remember when a new server opened and you had 1500 players on and the server would die - for days on end.
