/who all count
Does NOT get everyone

I just did "/ count all 30 50" and got:

[Thu Oct 31 12:23:50 2019] There are 3 players in EverQuest.

And a second later did "/ all 30 50" and got:

[Thu Oct 31 12:23:51 2019] There are no players in EverQuest that match those who filters.


It's easily testable and repeatable. It's people on login screen accounting for the difference between the home page count and the ingame / count all. But the command does see players who are using anon or rp.

I'll concede. I've been told this before. But there is no way to prove it other than speculation.

You can set up your own EQEmu server... it's not that difficult to set up a sandbox. Then just load up some instances at the character select screen.

Speculation? Go see for yourself. It's not speculation. You can repeat the test dozens of times to rule out the potential of all the people you're looking at logging out in the half second between your two who commands and the only (reasonable) explanation left is that count commands do see people that are hidden from regular who commands.

Another way to test:
