More info....

-These server numbers were taken sometime on Friday evening. I do not know how they were obtained other than the OP (name was: neowarderdude) saying that they were “hacked” by his friends.

-These numbers do not show how many total subs are on each server, rather, it’s a “snapshot in time” of how many people are on each server at the time the numbers were obtained (primetime Friday).

-Whether or not these numbers are legit no one can say definitively one way or the other... Apparently, if you do a Yahoo search for those IP’s, they do show up as actual SWG IP for those servers.

http://www.xfire.com/xf/modules.php?name=XFire&file=profile&uname=g33p33

-As to how SOE has the server pop's adjusted, he said:
"neowarderdude wrote:
Full = 3000
Extreamly Heavy = 1500
Very Heavy = 1200
Heavy = 900
Medium = 600
Light = 300
Very Light = 0

my friend gave me that list, and that's how it calculated before NGE (but he thinks they've changed it a bit since NGE)"

- This may be of some significance:
"neowarderdude wrote:
Did you substitute the word population for the actual connections to each given port and does it include all the sub for the ip's

The numbers that are given to the client when it connects to the logon server, it uses those numbers to determine how full the server is. My friend use to see numbers in the 1500-2000 range with bria hitting 3000"

-Quick Stats: 10,363 people total
Most people on a server: Bria
Bria’s Population: 722 (conceptually speaking approx 60 people per planet)

Least amount of people: Lowca
Lowca’s population: 227 (conceptually speaking approx 18 people per planet)
Note, I ignored Europe-FareStar server’s pop (of 113) b/c it’s not in its prime time there.


-Also, interestinly enough these numbers echo the Cube Stats from that much debated friday feature:

Of course, SWG just 'happens' to have turned the server population list 'off' now, so all servers show 'very low', since they're no longer sending the pop data to the client.

Ah, server populations on the launcher back on, after today's hotfixes... must have improved the encryption, or changed to sending the 'light/medium/heavy' instead of real numbers.

thinking

They changed the launcher and the packets. Information is no longer as easy to read.

Would they have gone through the trouble if this weren't true?

Even if it is true, why should I care? I like playing the game and regardless of how many people play I will keep playing.

Mr Cheeze..he'll be the person left playing when SWG is just an ORPG.

It used to be an MMORPG. Now they took the "Massively" out and it is an MORPG.

each planet is composed of multiple servers

Incorrect. It is a shot of how many people are on each shard.. not per planet. A grand total of each server.

A barren, nobody-is-playing shot.
