How many players online ?

Is there a way to see how many players are on-line at any given time? And from which countries? It is my impression that many players are NOT from the West Coast....thanx

The Players link at the top of the page . Then filter to search online now. The number of players online is at the page bottom left.

I saw that and edited my post. Also, when you select to search online now, it doesn't show players who choose to hide their online status such as myself. But even then it will show players who recently moves, status hidden or not.

This morning (RHP time) were around 140 online. Now there are about 280.

So do you think the amount of subs and non subs are increasing or not?

Nothing to do with subscription.

Now 407 people online (moved in the last 10 Minutes)

Now 387 players have moved in the last 10 minutes according to the players list, if you look for those online you get 338. So we can assume that the "online list" returns about 20% less than actually have moved. And the ones just looking at the forums or thinking long are excluded.

how many players are playing??? and how many reading/writing in the forum?
