What is 'MIR Population'?
MIR population is a measure of how many people are 'active' at any one time across all servers. This can be seen in almost real time using the serverlist.
The data
Left axis: Population count
Bottom axis: Time period
Summary for those who can't read graphs
Raw data on a day by day basis:
01-08-2004 to 31-03-2007: http://mirtracks.co.uk/sc5/analytics/popularity.txt
Methodology and weaknesses:
See... is not all doom and gloom! :P - Feel free to ask for additional data or questions.

Summary for those who can't read graphs
- MIR population somewhat stagnant during early to mid 2005, peaking at 260ish in August 2005.
- Population suffered a huge slide in late 2005 averaging 125 players for the next 4 months.
- Picked up in early 2006 which lasted until June, which saw a return to 120 average.
- Late 2006 saw an upsurge to 220ish players, which has been sustained so far, except for a rather rigorous blip in March 2007.
- Late March 2007 boasts the biggest Mir population in history. Largely attributed to the addition of dominant Mir3 server zentaur.
Raw data on a day by day basis:
01-08-2004 to 31-03-2007: http://mirtracks.co.uk/sc5/analytics/popularity.txt
Methodology and weaknesses:
- Data is based on 8PM readings of every server per day since Aug04.
- 2004/05 data was subject to weaker and less prevalent server monitor
- Super servers can have affect readings dramatically
See... is not all doom and gloom! :P - Feel free to ask for additional data or questions.
