the reasons listed to remove the page are not good enough for me. here's why:
- first: the number of average online players INCREASES day by day, so nothing to worry about "to few people online"
- sometimes you want to enter the game at "not so busy" hours. reasons ? less lagg, less pirates, quality chat, you name it
- if it gets too big, split it in pages, nation pages, letter pages, any pages.
- the list doesn't reveal too much information to become dangerous for any player, but it is veruy usefull for a lot of various reasons.

TO HELL WITH ACTIVE PLAYERS LIST!!! CLICK CLACK
i think the active player list should stay, just my oppinion
Every online community i've been on always bugs the devs for player numbers or go about trying to guess it, atleast with the active players page you can actually see it :-)
It's very nice to see wheather your friends are online, its nice to see if notorious pirates are on as well, so you know whether your trade routes will be safe.
To remove it just to hide to fairly low player base to me is a little weak, and to me would just be some form of covering up and misleading potentail customers to the player base size.

Keep the active list. I sometimes like to log on when not many people are there to do some quiet trading. Other times I log on when its full. I have never based my decision on loggin on on how populated the universe is. But it is nice to look and see if pirates are on I can go chase or if buddies are on.
From the point of view of "excitement" and exploration it for sure would be better to NOT have that list on the site, but I like to see who is on.

leave the active players page just make it work right and not show the same 104 people all the time...always says 40 Itani 22 serco and 42 UIT and its always the same people 24 hrs a day
The page works fine, it's just that Guild's ISP was funky due to some changes and the page coudn't synchronize. When it DOES work, know that some of those people actually were on for many hours playing Capture the Cargo.
I use the active list all the time, less to see if pirates are on but just to get the general idea of WHO is on. Are my friends on, is the guild mostly on. Also, since I rarely see others flying though grey space, except for pirates, it's nice to see that there actually ARE other players on. If you don't like looking at it, dont' do it. Are you no better then the moth drawn to a flame. Should we all put out our fires tonight so you dont' burn yourself????
No, what I propose is that WHOLE UNIVERSE player list is removed and in guild view you can see who's online and who's not.
Also, your buddy list should be visible from web, with same implications.
Game wise, character wise, how the hell do you know whether guy from different nation/faction is on without locating him in sector or getting intel from your guild members???
