How and where?

How and where can i fing info on the subject how many players are playing (in general, or on average) on the server (on any among 9 servers) ??
Some MMO's give this information upon log-in (like EVE Online,) but Lineage does not give numbers. The closest you get is the Light/Normal/Heavy listing of the servers when you select your server on log-in.
They've posted a few stats like that before but that's not readily available information.
That information is non-existant.
Alot of people have requested this information, however I dont think its ever going to happen.
The only way you can see what servers are most populated is checking the server status when you log on. "Heavy", "medium" or "light".
If a server is always heavy, and some are always normal, its a good sign of server population.... however, there is a big flaw in this reasoning..... because a big chuck of the popuation are Bots (will not discuss here, there is an "official" thread for that). Some servers have more bots than others and thus throw off the numbers.
That seems absurd that only 6,000 people are able to play at one time max.

During the seige's there must be at least a few hundred people on at nearly 2 out of the 3 to 4 castles at any given time. And i count nearly 20 to 40 people at some of the more popular areas just at the Gate in Locations before they head out to there respective hunts. It doesnt seem possible that 6000 people is the cap.
may seem absurd but its the truth.
wow they actually deelted my post that showed the amount of players and such like it is top secret or something..
I'd say the amount of ppl playing at one server is not more than 500-1000. I just don't see ppl most of the time I'm exping. Well, just a few ofcourse...

There arent many people in lower level areas, and even in higher ones, there are tons of hunting locations for all levels, so people are spread all over.

ever tried to count? I dont think there would be more than 300 shops. Really not 2000 :)
as was posted by bugger, before the gestapo deleted it, every server has at least 2k people, half the servers have a max of 4k people cause they suck, half have 6k limits like kain, bartz, seig. and teon has a limit of 7k max people.

when u log in to the servers if u see the server at "light" status its below half capacity. teon has the biggest fluxuation of people based on a 24 hour graph that was posted on l2blah, so i believe they have the most "real" players, most other servers are pretty constant in their numbers, only seeing a couple hundred dropoff of the total during the 1am-7am time frame when most people sleep in NA.

if the mods and ncsoft werent such ****s about the statistics of their server populations id post a graph of thepopulation over 24 hours, but itll prob just get deleted so meh.
