How active is this server?

[monkeyhead]

I logged in this morning and the web site said there was 574 users. Being anal, I though it would be interesting to count stalls and tree choppers. Between Argent, sliver mine, Shantan and Icicle there where around 400 . 175 still seemed good. But I know of at least 10 spots where people bot or at least manually level up their accounts so that takes out another 40. I didn't count people that are AFK, pet leveling, etc; which is usually at least 50. which puts us around 85 active players. Usually there are 15 in the mine, 5-10 at the smugglers,10-20 checking out stalls and 5 killing shrubs and a few random people in the world

It would be nice to see how many distinct IP address are connect. In most cases, I am an exception, there is only one person per IP address/location. Tying accounts into facebook seems like a good idea, all it does is force people to make extra facebook accounts. In my case my facebook account was old enough that it didn't have the validationinformaiton you were looing for so I had to make one just to connect.


The total accounts do seem good compared to the other private servers. Until you realize most of the private servers you have no reason to chop the tree or to stall. During there peak point in life cycle most of these private servers had 30-80 users loggged in. Some had a lot more.

You count RLY Bad. After 15 sec, Offline stall is counted as logged out player.
May-be counters are a bit bad, because we had a few DoS attacks lately. But not to that state.

Then the counters must be really bad. The stalls may not have been offline. IF you check out the major cities there wasn't close to 200 non stallers on them.

Thanks for your concern. We're just simply too busy with actual game development over some stat counters.
