The game does seem underpopulated these days.

A more constrained environment would help more than a who (location).   If the MUD were sized in accordance with the population, you'd have a hard time not bumping into other PCs. Further, if your a tavern sitter in Nak, it doesn't help to know there's 50 people logged on in Tuluk.  Worse, if you are a burglar in Nak, it does help to know your the only active PC in the area.

First off, this isn't necessary providing IC knowledge in a OOC manner. Theres obviously going to be NPCs/PCs/vNPCs out and about, your character would never be able to tell the difference because such terms would not exist. Therefore, providing a vague value of what mansa stated could be acceptable in my opinion.
