W500 1K Std World - Only 500 Population?

[DarkDestiny]

Greetings!
Anyone else noticed W500 population size is odd.

W500 1K Std World - Only 500 Population? and closed now hmm.

Presumably less players around?

** Edit ** Appears that I checked population size at exact time the 500th player joined! this world has now increased to max population after a couple of guilds I know jumped to make the world close.
