Does your database store a 'last date seen'? It would be awesome if we could filter to only include toons which you've seen in the last 30-60-90 days or something.

Also, if you really really really wanted to get fancy(re:tedious) you could park alts in each zone that way you can log into them and /guildstatus all the anon players.

Yeah, I store the date at which the character was last seen and I could do that but I don't want to do it until I am able to pull data on a regular basis. Otherwise there would be "holes" in the data.
Like, right now, I haven't pulled data since January 6th.
I have an idea on how to tackle that but I haven't had time to do it yet.

I introduced http://p1999pop.dmsimard.com/population yesterday and I have some other stuff I want to work on - maybe within the next few weeks.

The guildstatus thing would be too tedious, ugh [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
