So wanted to see if Blizzard or someone could clarify this.
Every player account can make up to 10 toons on a server.
So if I decide to roll on Thalnos and I make 10 toons, from what I gather from the past, Blizzard says that the server population just went up by 10 toons.
That hopefully should not be how it’s calculated.
If I create a toon on Thalnos, then at that point, I should only ever be counted as 1 populated person on that server since at any time I can only ever play 1 toon at a time therefore the active population never increased more then 1 toon/player.
I hope Blizzard isn’t counting 2-10 alt characters as ‘active’ or include in the total server population because that would be terrible for the actual active population #s.
Now that the game is live I believe it’s based on people actually logged into the game, so it wouldn’t matter how many characters you have on your account.
As pointed out in other discussions, judging one realm’s population by comparing it to another makes little sense.
If I wanted to know about realm A, I wouldn’t ask about realm B.
That’s not what I’m asking. What I’m asking is if we had a ton of players making up to X amount of toons on a server how is that population determined.
If I had 10 friends and we were on all Server A with 10 toon each, then hopefully that is determined as 10 active populated characters, not 100 populated characters. There’s a huge difference here in determining #s.
They just hotfixed it to the actual server capacity now so when it says Full that’s when the queue starts.

It isn’t. How many toons created on a realm doesn’t impact realm pop now that the game is live. The realm pops are determined by how many people are actively logged into that realm.
