I thinkit still hovers in the upper double digitis/low hundreds.  Another
old DIKU that (2 years ago when I last played it) had a pretty solid base
(80-120) was Grimne.

Everytime I've hit this one (and it's been about a year since the last
time), there were anywhere from 200-400 online.  I don't know how many of
them were mults, but that's still pretty beastly number.  I DO know that
in 95/96 they were averaging 250-300.

*nod*  IIRC, most of the players were fairly pertubed when Sojourn
originally split, a LOT got pissed when Toril/Duris faded and were
replaced with Basternae.  I'm not sure what the current numbers for
Basternae are, Bueller?
