Server advertising. Re-roll where?

torstatus.net will give you a pretty good idea of server pop. They even break it down by daily/weekly/monthly population stats.

 

The thing is, http://www.torstatus.net/ just gives you queue times, not an idea of population.

 

The *number* doesn't have anything to do with population. The number just represents server status where 1 = light, 2 = standard. The website automagically checks all servers once an hour and records the data. (See below for more details.)

 

So if Server A has a population cap of 1,000 people, when it has 700 people on it it might be rated 3 (heavy) and feel dead.

 

If Server B has a population cap of 7,000 people, when it has 2,000 people on it it might be rated 1 (light) and be jumping.

 

So while the numbers are interesting, they're not actually equivalent to the number of bodies.

 

http://www.torstatus.net/about

 

"The chart list on the homepage shows average population index for the last seven days. This population index is calculated from the official server statuses during a day... where 1 is light, 2 is standard and so on. It's updated once every hour. "

 

 

 

Your best option is to make a lvl 1 character on each side (Rep and Imp) and to survey the population at peak times using /who.

 

Details and a place to put your data here:
