Realmlist - What is column 'population' for?

[Filipper]

Hello everyone,

Please excuse my bad english, I'm from Germany. My question is: What is the column 'population' in the table 'realmlist' of realmd-Database for? How is the value of this column calculated?

And can I use it to get the current number of online-players?

Unfortunately, the corresponding entry in getmangos.eu-Wiki (http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Realmlist)contains no information about that (is Todo).

I hope you understood my question and somebody can answer to me!

Thank you for your help!
