I seen a post from someone looking for a few things including a server population of 100+
Well, all he had to do was look at the Server List to see the current status of the servers
and, if they are registered, then clicking on the "view" will show the overall population stats.
(online, maximum). But sometimes, I think some people actually looked at that list
and thought maybe they were going to find that infamous invisible server by posting
about what they are looking for. Hence: if they don't see it on the list, it doesn't exist.

Myself, I think there is something there for everyone who is reasonable. I often see
players who want features and benefits that will help them level real fast. I don't get
that preference. A server could be set up to let someone level to 100 with custom
uber gear, all done in one day. But then what ? Even if a player only has very limited
time to play the game, there is still no hurry to get to the "end of the game" Hahaha

You cannot look at the server population and get an accurate count of players though. Many of those you see with a population of 50+ are not actual players. Some players are actually managing 30 to 60 boxes. It does not take but a few of those to hit 150+

A tiny server like mine hitting 12 players makes me happy, that is like 200 players on a heavily boxed server, just saying.

LOL, You know, I have heard "rumours" about that from people. I used to box
a few toons back on live eq, but I couldn't imagine trying to manage that many.
But if a server owner is allowing that (or doing it himself), it will do more harm
to attracting legit players, than good. Because if a player sees population stats
like that and logs on to the server only to find out there isn't a raid guild or
something to to play with, it's a setup for disappointment.
