Is really annoying. Please remove it, it puts players like myself off bothering to check if there are actually players there. And if there are actually players there I often just think it is the "Fake" player count, and don't bother joining unless its high. Im sure im not the only one who thinks/does this.

I've been wondering why 75% of the servers seem almost dead.

It was a bug with the plugin. They have been set to 2 for a while but some of them flipped out and went to 9. It's fixed now.

Yeah, I've really learned to hate the fake player plugins.
The thing is they're even a lot more sophisticated now than the one that's been on Tempest - they'll generate fake player names, fake player scores (that go up slowly), fake connect times and more, so on some servers - like Q - you can't even tell if there's 28 players or 0 players without actually connecting. The only possible clue is when 75% of the players have a connect time within a couple minutes of each other, but in some cases where there HAS been a small number of players recently, the connect times will be dissimilar enough to lure me in.
Nothing pisses me off more than being told there's 28 players, going to the trouble of manually checking that there appears to be 28 valid players, and then spending the time to connect and discovering that there's 0.

Yeah at least with 2, people who don't know that they are fake players, will connect and assume that they just left, But if you've got them favorited, or play on them frequently, its pretty obvious.... IMO it should be removed alltogether.... Yargh
