One word for this upsurge in active accounts : Bazaar

Nearly every server has 3-500 people idling in it at any given time.

44 servers (I think) X 300 (conservative number) = 13,200 accounts logged in.

Also x2+ boxers....I would guess maybe count for 5% of all online accounts.

Last I knew the active accounts went from around 450,000 to around 430,000
