How many people logged into Popmundo now
Graphic updated every 30 minutes.
What we can see from above graph is that the number of players seldom goes under 1,000 at any given time. So you don't have to worry about playing alone whenever you logon. If you want to maximize your chances to bump into people, you should look at the hourly statistics below and aim for busy hours.
How many people logged into Popmundo every hour
These numbers are averages for all days and it can be clearly seen that during Central European time (GMT+1) from late afternoon until late evening, there's usually a maximum amount of players logged in, which should not come as a surprise.
At busy hours there's about 4,000-5,000 players logged in. So far the maximum number of logged in players we have tracked is over 8,000 at the same time!
How many people logged into Popmundo every hour per weekday
This graph displays data divided both into segments of hours and weekdays. All times are displayed in Central European Time (CET), which would be for example Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris etc.
Same as above graph, but with labels reversed, we can clearly see late nights and early mornings are fairly constant. All times are displayed in Central European Time (CET), which would be for example Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris etc.
