In an ideal world we would have server owners send corrected values based on their AFK features such as mining, stalls or fishing.

However that would require code to do so and then further verification that said code isn't inflated by any other method.

Maybe Crystal and Zircon files could at some point have a way to validate these numbers (so you'd have an idea of how many players are actually playing and how many are their alt farm chars).

But again, proof of numbers would need auditing some way or another.

Personally, the numbers never play a role to wether id play or not.

Work around.

Someone makes a server verification application, it queries the server and all logged users. It dumps it to whatever (3001..) and includes USER IP | Total;

example (we obfuscate the first portions of the ip)

X.X.X.37 | 40

Now, we know that the ip ending in .37 has 40 active connections. You can in turn use a validation online list as well, so youll have total connected and total unique connected. This will eliminate the questions of bots. But wait, how do you get users to run this extra server validation executable? Simple, offer them on the main server list a check mark (verified) badge.

Food for thought.

Who even runs this server? Seems odd that the most active thread of the year that's gained so much attention is being ran by somone who clearly visits the forum (has paid to have there uc displayed) but hasn't posted on this thread. Curious and curiousor 🤔
