Hi, I was just wondering what the population on this server looks like? I used to play ********:uoforever which had roughly 400-500 ppl daily.. currently looking to get back into PVP but need a server thanks.

I think it's usually around 5-600? here is a shard listing with player counts - http://uoisnotdead.com/

i've greatly enjoyed the few weeks that i've been playing on this server

They don't actually publish this info. Which is annoying, but they have their reasons. I'd say it is daily easily 300+ unique people playing. And that's low, due to new gaming consoles, etc. After the new year it will pick back up to 500+ uniques, then the expansion comes and we'll be above 500+ uniques at all times probably.

Also, note I did say uniques, I'm sure we're around 500+ all the time as it is, just not uniques.

Shane answered this recently during his AMA (ask me anything):

1: Currently today we hit 630 ONLINE clients. of those 630 we had almost 500 UNIQUE Ip's.. Meaning we have an unreal amount of "real" players who don't double client and don't AFK etc. That is why you see the Ultima Online Forever world so "alive"... Beccause be it 400 clients online or 700... The majority of those "clients" are actual indiidual people. Other servers have half or a bit more than half of what we have online at any given time, however hwne you adventure around their server or goto banks it is a ghost town!... "Client count" means nothing, this is why we DO NOT SHOW client count upon logging in to our server. We might have 370 logged in at one time, however our server is still booming with action... Why this is, is , i specifically marketed and shot for players who either DO NOT play Ultima Online or have not played for years... If you read http://www.uoforever.com it completely lays it out and sells it to a person who has never played UO before... Not the current dieing "private server population".
All in all we are thinking much, much, larger...
