Default Ghost Players vs Real

This is just something that some players may not realize, when looking at the player
count on a server status before they logon and realize the actual players in-game
may not match what you seen on the server status. Although there could be different
reasons, this is a very common one, as well.
More often than not, some players, when they log out of a game, they might leave
their clients parked at the character select screen. Those "parked" players will still
show up as being logged on to the server, just not fully in the world.
Even though it may be for innocent reasons, I try to discourage that practice, since
it can be deceiving to a player looking at the population on a server.
