Correct, so this is a generous interpretation of how many people are in Myrland. You can have some people leaving during this time, but I doubt people waited in queue to log in, and with less than an hour of play logged out.
Correct, the top of the queue is only accurate at the endpoint. In truth every bar but the last one should be a mix of yellow/red. Though, given that the total population didn't change over this time period, it's probably better to assume a trickle of yellow into red overtime. Sadly I just didn't think of collecting top of the queue until the end.
Right.
Yep, 100%. Although I will say that I queued immediately as the server was up. I was in queue since the begining of the queue. In fact, I was in queue right before the Myrland server crashed, and waited for the queue to pop back online. It's unlikely that there were people in Myrland before I got in the queue, especially since the queue didn't start moving until after a few minutes, suggesting the server kept track of login order for a few minutes before actually funneling ppl into the game.
It's true that the Myrland number is just my progress in the queue, which might be due to people leaving the queue from spots ahead of me. Though, I'll say that most of the movement happened in the first hour, so any queue leavers ahead of me would have waited quite a bit to get in the queue with it going at a pretty fast rate (45 spots/min) and then decided to leave nonetheless.
To be clear, I'm not saying these are the numbers, it's just that we've been kept in the dark as to what the actual cap was, and I felt like some data (albeit not perfect) was better than wild guesses, so I collected what was available to me, and shared with others in case they find it useful.
