yet player count still seems to be rising not THAT much. I Am not complaining though it has been rising indeed, but just makes me wonder why it seems so difficult to hit 200+ for example if there are over 2.6k players in last 48 hours ?
I always just assumed it was a fake number. If not i would assume its the total amount of individual characters logged in. Example if i log in 12 account over 48 hours it counts as 12 character being active.
