    Hi to all it may concern,

    I have noticed that when I log in to the list of servers - ECC shows a much higher number than it usually has. For instance - on the 4th of February 2024, the server display 35 / 2000. When I logged in, there was ONLY 10 of us.

    Today, 5th February 2024, it says 93 / 2000, but only 28 is online.

    Whats the deal with these numbers? I would really prefer if the numbers would be a lot more accurate than making "look" like there are a lot of people online.

    Can anyone explain this? It just doesn't add-up

    Yeah, we spoof on certain voting websites to compete with everyone else who is spoofing, which is basically every server on the major sites. Sad but known fact, nothing to hide. (Some of the servers that show 5,000+ online in reality have like 200.) We'll heavily lower it from what it is. It's actually been annoying to me as well lately. Use fms.ecc.eco for true count btw.


    PS: Keep in mind you will not see vanished players in tab. Those DO count towards the player count.
