Population is up 50%

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

Ive been tracking population for just 3 weeks or so and I've noticed a dramatic increase but really no news to justify. Since im new here maybe someone can enlighten me with some server dynamics as to why the increase recently in population on RED.

[runlvlzero]

lol you got graphs? serious? seems like its down 50%

It might just be recovering from the hit it took when teams99 was announced. we had 120 primetime on avg b4 that.

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

Im talking about the last 3 weeks. We were averaging 80s during prime time now we are averaging 122 over the same time period.

I realize int his history of R99 these are low numbers. But in my history here, this is an improvement ;)

[Colgate]

no, low numbers was when there were single digits on at any given time assuming that it wasn't uncontested raid day #79 for nihilum

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

It got THAT bad? Single digits?! Wow. Then big recovery I say.

[Smedy]

population only up slightly due to teams99 announced to be far far away, the pop dropped by 50% when teams99 was announced.

That makes sense. At least another year of red99 probably.

Numbers provided do not support math claim in title.

[heartbrand]

50% of 80 is 40, 80 + 40 = 120, you're probably mistaking a 100% gain with a 50% gain, a common error

Average Max population per night for R99

July 154
Aug 145
Sept 114

R99 was slowly on its way to recovering until T99 was announced. The thing is the raid scene on R99 is fine. What the problem is the lack of 1-59 people leveling and grouping. There are many solutions for this.

To clarify T99 was announced on Aug 31st.

[Smedy]

give us 2boxing, pop 300

[SamwiseRed]

you can thank me for the pop increase, been boxing 3 mages during euro time.

Just in time too, server was really starting to show promise... crisis averted!

Server not allowed to thrive, lets hope T99 rolls better...

If 154-145 = 9 pop loss between months July and Aug

Then 145 - 114 = 31 pop loss between Aug and Sept

We know that the population leakage was multiplied 3 times between months July and Sept (31 / 9 = 3.4)

So if we assumed the same 3x leakage of player base we can assume a 93 player loss between Aug and Oct ( 31 previous x 3 = 93), leaving October's max at 52 (145 - 93 = 52).

Oct 52

Do you agree Elderan?

I love happy endings... which is something this server will never have :rolleyes:

Would have been a paradise if not for GMs and idiotic ruleset. Just like every other PvP EMU box with decent pop, the admins killed it.

R99 has lost 50% of its pop several times over, would prolly have 350-500 now if not for the admins.

But, thems the breaks.
