Does Anyone remember server pop numbers?
 

I was curious what type of numbers were logged in from release to Luclin time frame.

Thanks in advance

This is the commonly linked MMOGChart:

I am not positive, but........ I played on "The Rathe" and I remember 10k people on just my server.

Hrmm... if you can read that chart, it looks like about 450,000-500,000ish around Luclin's release (Dec 2001).

At any given time there were usually about 20-25 servers running then, so 20k per server?

Actually, when was the first merge? There may have been more servers then.

Sony has 300k subscribers across all their games right now.

WoW! (see what I did there?)

I think there was something like 1500-2500 logged in on the servers at peak times. I'll have to check with my bro, he saw a bunch of that info during the summit in San Diego.

I remember at around the time when they stopped showing server numbers, which I believe happened on 9/11 coincidentally, the population on Tallon Zek regularly hit 3k concurrent users in primetime. And we were usually one of the lowest populations.

Here are some data points of how many people were logged into the server at a time, when they still listed it. This is from www.monkly-business.com in archive.org
