So I wrote an EQ Server population parser... here's some data !

EDIT
Data is now available directly on http://p1999.dmsimard.com

I was curious to see what kind of population statistics I could pull from the client side, so I went away and made a server population parser script.
Obviously, this could have been done far easier from the server side but I don't happen to have that sort of access :P

At the time I've ran my "snapshot" for data, there were 699 players online and my parser was able to find and identify 440 characters. (Friday January 18th at 4:45PM EST)
This means that 259 characters were either /Anonymous or on /Roleplay.

Please excuse me, I'm bad with graphs and charts, but here's some data.
If someone wants to use the raw parsed data to make some awesome charts, let me know and I'll give it to you :)

Nice, would be good to see a comparison versus peak time.

Also don't forget a "/who all count" can list with anons included, for example "/who all iksar count"

Ooooh, I didn't even know about the count command.. I'll check that some time soon.

This was interesting. I would like to see lots of them, date stamped.

Thanks for doing this.

looks like since everyone has had there slice of the eq pie... over time the SOV class power shift is about to adjust itself according

i see monks shaman slowing moving up to #1 #2 in terms of most powerful classes with the raid utility classes adjusting themselves as well

really surprised about the rogue/wiz both about on par if not this server should be endgame rogue heavy, but its not

primal rogues... goo goo gah gah not broken but sustained dps zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz /faceroll

recognizing patters

i notice every 10 lvls after the 1st 2... it drops off significantly and 40+ people start to become more dedicated or "main" reroll more.

so a healthy noob population atm from lvls 1-10, server growth

10-20 also healthy

55-57 lol.. standard most people cant make that hump from 56-59 because its just uggggggghhh, you start to re evaluate if your gonna make this your "main", "Main".

Nice log, i do something similar but on a smaller scale for what i could consider "competitive players in my bracket or classes however your ego justifies it.

ty

there was 99 shammies on when pop was 900+. i was playing my shammy at the time and I no longer felt special knowing there was 100 others out there canni dancing :(

over 30 players 22-34...

highkeep: 1

you are doing it wrong, best zone in lvl for that bracket, plenty of "mobs" for x3 full parties if you dont mind faction and will kill guards... best zem you will find with a banker in zone and a merchant that will sell to ANY race/class regardless of
