Yesterday. Sorted down to 'mush' only. This is simultaneous connections. Given not every person logs in every day...
And this is ONLY the games that mudstats monitors.
ETA: This 'secret treasure trove of data' is mudstats.com
No offense, but this is a little bit misleading. Those graphs don't contain details on how concentrated that some "1600" logins is.
If you go to browse, you can sort games by server type and population. When you do that, you learn that 1600-or-so logins includes over 550 of them at PenDes, followed behind by 2 Heroes/Multiverse games in the 70s, and then quickly becomes a whole lot of games in the 20s trickling down to the games with 0 logins.
Goddamn Porn, right?
There's a data center where I live that hosts the web servers, database servers, etc for Pornhub. We call it "The House that Porn Built" because it was pretty much overnight that they went from a quaint little colo to a multi-million dollar data center with employees getting free tickets to the Las Vegas porn conventions and the yearly pornography awards ceremony.
Anyway, that number is skewed heavily by hundreds of logins for a game that allows simulated pedophilia. The simulated pedophilia game is killin it.
-the gif goes here. In spirit.
