The number of users created on EarthEmpires from what I got playing hot and cold with the userid lookup. I get 1200 at MOST of people playing atm what happened to the other 3000 people?

those are gregg's aliases

Are you talking about forum IDs or actual user accounts?

Because a good number of people have created multiple forum IDs

Gregg has 4, and dibs has like eleventy

http://express.www.earthempires.com/serverprofile?id=XXXX

where X=User ID's created on the main page not member.php which is just the forums ID's right?

Farthest I got that got a response that was valid is 4496

That's assuming that there's users in a consistent lineage from 0000-4496.

It could A. be started @ a number much greater than 0, B. not be sequentially numbered, or C. contain all of the test accts used/created.

I would be highly skeptical that there have been 4496 legitimate accounts created here.....although it would be pretty good news if there had :-)

1 is qzjul I found Makinso and a few others by random.. everything above like 2000 is all private accounts so I dunno weird thing I stumbled upon

There's a few testing accounts, but yea, there's around that many legit accounts

and a little over 1200 active at the moment

That's rather impressive.

I gotta admit, if someone asked me to estimate active membership, I would have placed it in the 700-800 player range. Seeing that it's up to 1200 is kinda inspiring.

Now just to figure out how to get them to the forums to feed my post count!

many play only non-alliance servers so nothing surprising.
