So I was checking the soe.com/status where it shows server pops and by no means are any of the servers doing amazing.. which is surprising since they are very well crafted games but it blew me away that eq1 had so many servers in medium pop while eq2 was almost all low pop when I viewed it.

And then it hit me. Half the people playing are afk because you have to stand there in game to sell your stuff, way to fluff them numbers
