That being said, I stand corrected: the servers were originally made to withstand 4,000 players at once each, but due to concentration in uldah (who knows how many one region alone can handle, maybe 200?) this area is experiencing problems (lol along with dragonhead now...)
even given that

during each servers peak hours, it sees upwards of 1000-2000 people right now(ragnarok being the exception) so around 1500 average over 9 servers...and maybe 700 or so on the 10th

i know some people are posting lower numbers, but they are also not posting peak hours, just random hours throughout the day

thats roughly 14000 people online during "peak" hours, which is a base nunber to go on, from there, you can easily double/triple the number to get what the real population is, which still falls well above the "10-20k" mark

of course the naysayers on here will post numbers during the lowest population times of the day to say otherwise, and then will go on to say that online population = total
