Guild Wars 2

without telling me where its posted iv looked everywhere and searched .. once again how do i find out how many people are on the server at any one given point in time

If you’re looking for numbers, there isn’t a way.

General levels of population are on the server list though.

You can’t – online population numbers are not available.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but if you actually want it answered instead of just antagonizing the mods, you may want to edit your thread Title to actually give some indication of what you’re looking for. Otherwise you’ll just get forum busybodies like me who only came in to see if it was, indeed, worth having the mods delete so we could hasten the process with the Report button. Since it seems like a legit question, I have not done so.

Also, the word is “probably”.

You can’t, atm. It is impossible.

The server list shows a current population with things like “High” and “Full”. Arenanet has already confirmed that this is NOT stating the number of people currently logged in, but rather the number of people who call that server home at any given time. For instance, I am not currently logged in but my character existing on Tarnished Coast is contributing to it’s “Full” status.

From CC Eva:

Hello everyone.

Connor, when you see a server FULL means that the people who’ve chosen that server as theirs, or players who have moved to that particular server, have reached the cap, independently of where did they create their accounts.

There is no way for us players to tell how many people are online. Same with accounts, you cannot tell how many accounts are on a server, only that the server is full or has a high/med/low population.

‘Prolly’ is actually a legitimate form of probably, informal as it may be.

“Prolly” is also an acceptable, if slang, abbreviation. But it is spelled “prolly.” /pedantry

Anyway, very few MMOs actually disclose their population numbers, so the lack of them in GW2 really shouldn’t surprise you.

HAH! I had no idea it was legitimate. I feel vindicated for all those years I typed it out of laziness. =D

Hi everyone,

Thanks for answering this player’s question.
