Current player counts by class: some actual data

Hi all,

I also decided to keep track of this data. I used Chinetter's breakdown.
Here's a google sheet with the results from this morning. I'm keeping the vertical axis from 0 - 60, so people can have a quick comparison between the level ranges.

I'll keep adding new sets as separate sheets, with the same format. Once I have a few samples, I'll think about how to display the trends.

Really wanted to thank you for these spreadsheets, and data. I love looking, and following class trends when I'm playing select games. But I'm definitely too lazy to put it together myself... So again, thank you!

I'm glad someone finds it useful/interesting!

Hi all,

In addition to occasional snapshot updates, I started keeping track of the weekly averages of the class distributions, in the level 20 - 39 bin.

I think this is a good place to track how the overall class distribution evolves, because it shows which classes people are actively leveling. The low levels are unreliable because people make alts and quit, and the top end is weird because it can only increase.

I normalize the class counts by the total population in that level bin. This is to attempt and account for the fact that during different times in the day, the populations vary.

I'm sure the data has a lot of scatter, but I don't show it because the plot is busy already. Weeks start on Monday. Most weeks have at least 2 measurements, averaged. Hopefully it gets the point across. I think it will be more interesting when we get a few more weeks in.

All data can be found here:
