I've seen more than 90 people on at once. (Someone recently posted that there were 101 on.) And since no one is always logged in, that means the total playerbase is likely much larger than 101. I'd bet there are around 300 people who log in once a week or more, plus a bunch of more occasional visitors. Is 37 people too many? I don't think so. Several of them are more or less strictly "behind the scenes", and not directly interacting with the playerbase. When you tally up the needs: Area-building, code improvements, prayer answering, rules policing, quest running, empowerment/tattoo/paladin_supp interviewing/monitoring, and the many other things going on, I'm always surprised the staff is as thorough as it is, considering they are all part-time volunteers. > 37 Immortals on staff, for a playerbase somewhere in the 90s. Could this be where all the elite pk/rp-ers have gone? Granted, it does take a lot to run a mud (I assume) of this caliber, but those figures just don't seem right. > Feir
