If you've advertised something or used someone icly popular to get people out to come and see you then that's great and if you didn't or couldn't do anything to pique their interest than advertising isn't the issue. You knowing where some or half or maybe all of these people are currently hanging out is not gonna help you or them. And it's not gonna make things harder for either party involved either.

It's convenient info at best and miscellaneous at the worst. Rp is not gonna get ruined because before you've steeped into the door you know there's 25 people at the Cantina. Or you know the Hospital have 5 patients and 3 docs working on them all or the entire server is at a Auggie event. So this isn't a lazy thing or you having to work harder or you putting yourself out there. It's not an open invitation to a private rp. It's just an indicator to how many people are in one house at a time and it being toggable would ruin the whole point of the indicator in the first place.

Typically, if someone is going somewhere because they know people is there rather than having their interest piqued by something in general... and you're saying advertising isn't the issue, yet someone wouldn't have originally gone in to begin with without knowing people were there in general... and usually people go into a place because their interest in piqued or they're curious about wondering if someone is in a place or not (which they'd just walk in anyhow to begin with if they remotely had such an interest rather than just duck it entirely.) Then you know.

It's as you said. Convenient info at best and miscellaneous at worst. My entire point was that i'm viewing it as being almost as useful as it is not and that I, personally, can hardly see it having too much impact unless people are just shy or lazy. Since the things that'd lure people over there to begin with is going to aid towards the player count that'd just lure people towards there for the only reason that is: "I only want to be here since I know people are here". If that's not the reason, then you know. You'd just go check it out either way if you could be assed.

So. I'm still for the 'I don't care if it's added, just don't be lazy either way if or if it doesn't get added' stance.
