-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I think there's also the old addage of, "are the 100 slots in use all at the same time". A lof of times when servers totals are quoted its hard to see them all full at once to get accurate usage (also seems to depend on some other factors like maps sometimes). Also can be quite hard to get 10 servers all full at the same time on requirement (i.e when you want to do some decent cpu testing etc) which is always a shame.
