What happens in Luxemburg ?

[Herbal Influence]

There is since a few weeks an absolutely unproportional amount of gamers from Luxemburg online ... half of the population during the day !!!

http://arma2.swec.se/server/country

For example: At the moment there are

Us US 4877.0 (32%)
De DE 3600.0 (23%)
Lu LU 1891.0 (12%)
Ru RU 1238.0 (8%)
Fr FR 910.0 (6%)
Gb GB 803.0 (5%)
Se SE 378.0 (2%)
Au AU 309.0 (2%)
No NO 243.0 (1%)
Nl NL 204.0 (1%)
Nz NZ 204.0 (1%)
Ca CA 72.0 (0%)
Jp JP 58.0 (0%)

If you know that the population is only 511.840 and the US with about 311 Mio and Germany with about a 82 Mio. people??!!

Well, I know, that a lot of the wealth of Luxembourg is from dealing with money. And maybe money works itself without a need to watch it working ... but ......

In other words, if you compare it with Germany (2x the number of gamers), Luxemburg should have 41 Mio inhabitants and not 0,5 Mio !!

Anybody knows the answer??! Maybe a lot of servers in Luxembourg?

1891 gamers are only roughly 0.3% of the population of 511 840, not half. But yes, there are a lot of Arma players from Luxembourg compared to other European countries, which is interesting.

This is showing server location, not player location. My server, for example is in Germany, but I'm not.

It says: "Server / Player distribution by Country" in the title and the server distribution is given additionally, as you can see. So if not Swec is cheating it is exact about both: Gamers and servers location.

I showed only the gamers location given by Swec.

The link wasn't working when I first posted.

You'd probably expect the % of players and servers to be the same in a given country, but in Luxembourg, they aren't. It's quite a small country with a relatively high cost of living. Perhaps players there prefer to rent their servers from elsewhere, mostly France, it would seem.

But I still wonder about the data. When I play on my own server, do I show up as being at home in the UK or at the same place as my server.

Apparantly alot of players want to play on those.

Probably alot of people get good ping there.
