Realm imbalance, some definite numbers :)

[Thorarin]

I decided to give the DAoC Europe website something to do today, in order to get some hard facts... I spidered all the guilds in the 3 realms and counted the number of active characters and accounts. This does not include guildless people, but I don't see why the percentage of guildless people would differ per realm.

So, here it is, as close an approximation to realm population as any non-GOA person can get. Only characters and accounts that were on within the last 2 weeks were counted:

Albion: 5751 characters on 3303 accounts
Hibernia: 3165 characters on 1798 accounts
Midgard: 3466 characters on 2003 accounts

This is about what I expected myself. Midgard and Hibernia being approximately equal, and Albion having around 50% more. Turned out Midgard has a 10% bigger population than Hibernia.

Apologies to GOA for bombarding their server with download requests for over 500 XML files in 30 seconds

tsk tsk, my scripts were much more polite (10s intervals )

Hehe, didn't feel like spending time for a server friendly version, it's not like I'm going to run it every day, at least not in that form

nice stats



Albs have 1,5594 chars/account
Hibs have 1,7603 chars/account
Mids have 1,7304 chars/account (do mids have luck all their 1 char buffbot accounts drops their stats alot )



does this means Hibs and mids dont care as much about RvR as Albs do but prefer alting? =P
