This is a live view updating once a day. The graphs are generated from the data gathered from Setti masterserver.

Masterserver queries in a day. The masterserver's main users are Left 4 Dead players. The masterserver is sending about 5-10 times more often L4D server list than any other game list. This happens because of how L4D game itself requests for new server list. The new masterserver is quite little compared to its predecessor. Users must update though, so one day the new masterserver will grow bigger.

About old masterserver (old text): The number of queries to the masterserver is very high. At peak time - which lasts for hours per day - the masterserver sends full server list of specific game type once every second. Roughly it translates to that there's one new player every second starting a new game and refreshing the server list. The high number of queries is handled efficiently by the masterserver, which guarantees that all players get the server list fast and reliably.
