That is:

• Number of characters (level 2-50) that have gained an adventure or crafting in the past 4 days (Friday, March 30 - Monday, April 2), broken down per server.
• Yes it is characters and not necessarily subscriptions, however, in such a short time period the average number of characters played per account is pretty close to one.
• This is unique characters, if Bob gained a level every day, he still only accounts for 1 towards that server total.
• Online characters at a given time is usually around 25% of the active population at peak at 10% at slow times. So for Gelenia this past weekend it was probably about 1960 at peak, 784 at quiet times.
• I automatically included level 50 characters since it's a bit tough to track their progress.

I went ahead and did a level distribution for Gelenia.



Peak is estimated at 25% of the active players during a given timeframe. In other words, it's how many characters you can expect to find online Sunday evening

Edit: Here is a breakdown (a few days are missing here and there) of # of character activity per day.

No way Gelenia is that popular.

Gelenia is the most populated server. That's not a fact you can dispute.

Odd - and all the naysayers had me convinced there were only three people playing on each server at a time...

You my friend will soon learn I can dispute anything.

Florendyl is the most Populated. Is Gelenia PvP?

[Rivensplit]

The problem with this is that you say its people who have gained levels correct?

What about the crafters who have done pure business and no leveling the last few days? What about the lvl 50's who cant gain a level?

The problem is that I don't know if 4 days is enough to be considered non-active. I've heard time and again that this game was also meant for "core" players who only play a few hours a night. At lvl 30 or 40+, might there be a chance that you don't gain a level while playing only a few hrs a night or skipping a day or two?

So, in a very, very worrying graph, the total of subscriptions, on what is a a VERY popular server is, to put it frankly, crap?
Forgive me if reading this wrong, but one of the, if not the most, populated server shows this over a 4 day period per level gained?, therefore, subscriptions etc.
If so, this game is in big trouble

As an aside I have been out, partying with workmates, so if I am reading this completely wrong,
first of all: thank goodness for that
Second: too much whiskey is a good thing, and a bad thing for your brain

I hope it is the second.

I'd like to see a spread covering all of march rather than 3-4 days....

That is active players during the past 4 days. Subscription numbers are a lot higher. I didn't play vanguard in the past week.

The numbers aren't good really. Not saying that just to be gloomy.. but thats like 65k characters that gained a level in anything over 4 days.

No, it won't count people who only did diplomacy or crafted goods to sell instead of WO's to level. But what it does count is anyone who rolled an alt and got to level 2. I would imagine those balance out a little bit in the long run. That's erring on the side of few alts too, I imagine it's much higher.
