Excalibur population 10/12

I wanted to see if the population numbers we've seen posted on the forum recently are accurate so I did a test myself.

The test consists of a /who all and /who 50 for each realm once every hour from 15:00 cet to 24:00 cet.

The numbers shown does'nt include the /anon people online and they are a large number (shifting from 217-353 during the period). However I dont think that this have an impact on the big picture.. atleast not on the /who all curves.

You could include /anon by dividing the /anon number between the tree realms, this would imo favour the realm with largest number of players. The curves would then simply shift upward for /who all and a smaller shift upward for /who 50.

It's more fair (imo) to split the /anon people between the realms based on realmpopulation (its more likely that a bigger population has a bigger % share of the /anon).

Anyways these curves does'nt show the /anon and if they did I think albion would show an even bigger number advantage than they do in the graph.

No big surprises maybe.. One funny thing though. The graph shows that the number of Alb lvl 50's during primetime is bigger than the total hib population during same period.

next time do a /who cleric, /who shammy, etc and see how many BB'a are on in relation to players

A lot of those amongst the /anon I guess so I don't think you can get "reliable" numbers.

true, but its just as reliable as doing a /who 50

percentage wise it probably evens itself out

Yea I think it evens out. You have one variable (/anon) which shift kurves upward and you have another (bb's) which would shift them downward again if you choose to count bb's as none existing players and remove them from the population.

taking both variables into account /who all should still shift upward because I believe that the /anon number (even with bb's removed from it) > bb number.

/who 50 might not shift or atleast not shift as much because the lvl 50 /anon might consists of more bb's per lvl 50 (considering most bb's are lvl 50.) (maybe most /anon people are lvl 50 aswell who knows? ^^)
