Empire City

The window to join Empire City is 22:00–05:00 UTC, when it averages 16 concurrent players — well clear of its 7-player round-the-clock average. It bites hardest at 01:00 UTC, averaging 21. Outside it the city empties: across 05:00–20:00 UTC it averages just 3 players, bottoming out at 11:00 UTC on 1, so an off-peak login means an all-but-empty server.

Its 120 slots are far more than it uses: when anyone is on it, it averages 8 players, and the busiest single moment of the week reached only 35 — 29% of capacity. It is thinning, though: it averaged 6 players across 2 Sept–4 Sept, down 25% on the 9 it averaged across 29 Aug–31 Aug.

That puts Empire City ahead of 95% of the 43,923 FiveM servers ViceHub tracked consistently this week, ranked on peak concurrent players. That is measured from our own five-minute checks, not from anything the server claims about itself.

Under the hood Empire City runs vRP with 222 resources loaded — a substantial build, using pma-voice for voice.
