What defines High Popluation?

[lrellok]

I recently got into a discussion with someone over what defines a high population server.  People in "Server seeking" will frequently ask for a high population server, but what does that mean?  I am pretty certain i could count the number of serves with 1000+ population on one hand.  SO i am asking these boards, please define in numbers (including AT and buff slaves);

Super high population
High Population
Mid population
low population

Please remember, this is for the private/pirate RO communty as it currently stands, Previous populations and IRO do not count.

Super High - 500+
High - 250+
Mid - 50+
Low - 0 - 5 or as if the staffs are more than the number of players.


*NOTE : This doesnt include autotraders.

For me, over 200 real people-so no vendors etc...is high, over 300 too high.

I don't consider private servers to be populated unless they have at least 100 active players.

Overwhelming - 1000+ active players
Super High Population - 500+ active players
High Population - 300+ active players
Populated - 100+ active players
Ghost Town - 1-99 active players

It's really hard to tell how many actual players are on a server now because of autotraders and dual clients. Sometimes you find half of the players aren't really playing.


Super high population - 500+
High population - 200+
Mid population - 50+
Low Population 10+

For me it would be something like this (as previous posters - not counting vending and buff slaves)

Overwhelming: 1000+
Super High Population: 300 - 999
High Population: 101 - 300
Populated: 51 - 100
Medium Population: 21 - 50
Low Population: 1 - 20
