Do we know for sure that the guest number is actually an indication of the number of players that have registered?

It's great, yes.

But many of the players have multiple mules (alternate identities). I also know for a fact that that 1,000,000th person is a mule (not mine). But check out the Dis forums ;).

I wasn't trying to advertise it. I'm just saying that that's where the guy is from and that he made a post there about his mule. And that's how I know it's a mule.
I know that for vmk related stuff, this is a much better forum. That's why I have more posts here that I do there. Even tho I joined that one first. :p

Does anyone know where the numbers started. To think there are a million different accounts set up with only about 2000-3000 playing at a given time seems like a stretch to me.

I am thinking that maybe it was Guest0900000 or something like that. It would be cool to know who the first 10 were though.

Yeppers,it leads to the question "Are all these players actually players?" I think that only about 3000 are.

I just saw a new player who was # 1,000,8XX which means that there were over 800 accounts created today. :wave2:

the DIS players name is MousseDude and I think alot of VMK fan site members know him.

I think there was way over 800 accounts created today

dont advertise for the dis forums here,this is the vmk forums,way better forums.You know what they say about opinions don't ya?;)

Well there is really no way to limit people from creating mules. So prsonally i think we need to get over it, or commit ourselves to stop doing it. I mean if the come down to making it 1 new file per day per IP adress or something like that, that would make me angry.

Just my opinion,

Let's use the Scientific Method, shall we? First let's explain the problem. The problem is you have no proof that by 2007 there will be enough players to fill in 19 football stadiums, as you provided no evidence of your claim ;). Next step, form a hypothesis. So, let's form an educated guess, shall we? I can't answer this, as I don't have the exact amount of people there are and when First-Beta opened, but yeah... Next, let's observe and record the data of this experiment/survey. Obviously, you can't record because you haven't experimented, nor shown proof of experimenting. So on and so forth using the other four steps: Classify and analyze the data, Choose an answer, verify the answer and use the answer to predict future outcomes (which you tried without proof in your "by 2007 there will be enough players to fill in 19 football stadiums" prediction.) Just my opinion on how you solved it, don't flame me :)

PS: I just started studying The Scientific Method, so I'm sorry if I said something wrong in my explanation :Tongue:

I think Smoop is concerned about capacity like me, what will they do when VMK gets too full?, is the question I always think when thinking about VMK's capacity.

I don't think that this will be a problem anytime in the near future MagicPirate. My hypothesis (using Becky's scientific method here ;)) is that there are probably no more than 5,000-5,500 ACTIVE players. While the guest count might disagree with this statement, the facts that:
1) There are probably hundreds of clueless tourists who go through VMK central in WDW and WDL that make characters then never access their account again.
2) I have done some math and found out that in order to reach the 1,000,000 player count, each player on VMK would only need to make between 200-180 mules. While this number of mules created per person seems quite high, it really is not considering how easily mules can be made and forgotten.
3) If Disney ever makes VMK pay-for-play (which I predict they will do sometime in the near future) then I believe that the player count will drop significantly.

I think that these facts support my hypothesis. Anyway just stating my opinion.

Pixel,that is MousseDude's new mule account.

I think there is less than that number because you have to count all of the peoples mule accounts. There are a lot of those. Congratulations to the 1,000,000 guest even though they are already playing.:mickeymo:

OMG then that means that I was the before the first player by like 600,000 LOL no actually I think that they started at 1.

Well they didn't start at one well not until later I mean if you signed up early enough then you didn't have to have a Guest##### so the first Guest really wouldn't be the first would they ?
