Guild Wars 2

Hello

I see some servers that have high population but seem to have 10X more people then some of the low tier servers that classify as “very high” servers?

It’s a percentage between current population and population cap for the server. Each server has it’s own population cap, and those are often dynamically adjusted.

Also, some servers may seem to have more or less population visible due to their population being shifted away from average towards some instanced activity (pvp, WvW, dungeons, etc).

So, basically oficial population info doesn’t tell you anything about the server population, and the visible population doesn’t have to match actual population.
