Mayor Tarn Pagott,
The structure "Shuttleport" cannot be supported by the current city rank!
This structure will be removed from the city in one week unless the city's rank increases to the level necessary to support it. You must either raise the city's population or re-deed the structure to save it.

....and 50 down !
All right, 50 buildings down and new badge for the collection. The immediate vicinity of Twin Mountain Base has been cleared up, now moving to where RAID's West Point used to stand. So far, the 100 buildings target is still achievable before transfer.

Scylla Population
Correcting yesterday's widely off guesstimates:
Number of guilded characters on March 13 209 (incl. alts, 3rd slot, multiple accounts, inactive players and active players): 8368
Number of guilds : 334
Guild membership average : 25.05
Of which:
42 PA have 5 members
108 PA have 6-9 members
89 PA have 10-19 members
36 PA have 20-29 members
13 PA have 30-39 members
9 PA have 40-49 members
5 PA have 50-59 members
6 PA have 60-69 members
6 PA have 70-79 members
1 PA has 80-89 members
1 PA has 90-99 members
14 PA have 100+ members
2 PA have 200+ members (VR > ARES)
2 PA have 300+ members (KOTOR PA > GFF)
Taking minimal bracket value: 50% of characters are either in the lower tier or the upper tier of player associations.
If we guesstimate 25% of unguilded characters (it's vet server with lots of multiple accounts and few new players), that would bring Scylla to a total population of app. 10 000 characters.
These stats could be crossed with the GCW stats and the city ranking updates (though, it may still be possible to reside in two different cities) to give a more complete picture of a server population.
In Scylla's case, it seems that the 10 000 population guesstimate is strongly limited by : inactive players, 3rd slots, multiple accounts, which bring the active amount of players very low.
Well, that was my two bits of the day.

Game Update 8
Kudos for the improvements on City management and Guild management. More details can be found here.
As far as TMB is concerned, it falls at a bad time, with FCTS and Demolition Day, nevertheless, something to look forward to on other servers.
For the greater Scylla server, the guild management system offers a powerful insight into server population. I should make a serious count, but from the overall look, about 700-800 players are guilded on the server. Adding a completely guesstimate about non-guilded population of 25% of server population (given that it's a veteran server with many alts / multiple accounts), that would put the Scylla population in the small 1000's.
The new management systems enable also to check players' offline time, which, taking the example of TMB, can go in 4 digits numbers for some citizens (and yet, their structures are not abandoned. Should look into that too at some point).
Thus, Scylla's server population of an approx. 1000 has to factor ghosts. No guesstimates on that. Guessing the server forum may wake up from its lethargy in reaction to the new tools.
As far as TMB is concerned, this time from a mayor point of view, city update will take place in two days. There will be another city contraction, it is unavoidable, with 10 citizens short of the required level for "City" rank (i.e. Rank 4).

Demolition Update
Twin Mountain Base's buildings marked with an "abandoned" have now been removed. The current population is 20. With the coming city maintenance - and thus the city contraction, it is expected that more citizens will be lost to the city. The city, now Rank 4 "City", is at risk of losing its shuttleport.With Demolition Day, Rettep Sunrunner's last building has been removed from the city. Rettep was the original founder of the city with Jed and Tarn. Among his many contributions were the scouting of the current city site, the city's first website, and of course, many hours spent in various adventures, from the mundane to the caves of Kashyyyk or to the Village. Thanks again for all the memories.
