Server Population

Hailto · #1 07-31-2012, 04:06 PM

So it seems to me the server pop is finally starting to climb back up again. I was wondering if there is a graph of sorts out there showing population trends? I seem to remember seeing one a year or so ago but maybe im thinking of something else. Would be cool to have some sort of graphing system that audits the population a few times a day. Anyone know?

The cat's a scottish fold, or some similar breed.

It's good to see population on the upswing.

Yeah, scottish fold, genetic defect causes their ears to lay flat.

Earth's summer wanes and Norrath's denizens ebb!

Hrm. There's got to be a Beach Boys song in there somewhere.

Great to see nonetheless. I almost did a cartoon eye-rub when I saw 520 at server select last night.

You mean waxes...ebb means to recede.

I recall when people started doing this on EQ live long ago. They used to list the actual population for each server at the server select screen. (man, pre-Kunark servers with 2400 players was... interesting).
Anyway, Sony removed the player counts once the numbers started to go down. Web sites were analyzing the trends and commenting about the long-term viability of EQ etc. I think this was around when WOW came out..
I think it would be interesting to see this for P1999

Heh. You'll clean up the misuse of English on the internet one post at a time! Keep up the awesome work!

Here are other trivial things I always get wrong so you can be ready:
- Reading an analog clock
- Daylight saving's time with respect to Arizona refusing to observe it

The following is a grammatically correct sentence that allows me to show my English prowess:

"The effects of the painkillers affected Lagaidh's overall affect; which in turn effected his decision to defend his ability to craft absurdly complex English correctly."

Put that in your grammar nazi pipe and smoke it.
