The output is logged, parsed and matched against the database.

If the character is not in the database, it is inserted.
If the character is in the database, it is updated.

I log at various times (morning, afternoon, evening, night) to try and catch all timezones.

So, right now, the database has 10399 unique characters. The "oldest" characters I have in the database date back as far as 2013-01-19 16:40:03. This means I haven't "seen" them since then.

Hope this answers your question [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So no tracking of /anon or /role then?

They come up. I have the character names.
For anon players, all I have is their name, for roleplaying I have their guild - if any:

I've thought in the past about implementing "/who all <X> count" but it's really about the characters, not the numbers. I'd rather have the characters [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I'm not mistaken /who call count actually ignores role and anon for class statistics. You might want to change your script to use that.

/who all cleric count or /who all 1 10 cleric count will include anon/role afaik. Just not specific names.

If I'm not mistaken even if you're /anon or /role you'll still be detected by specific class searches

I do not think so.

I know for sure that /w all cleric 1 10 would not yield any anon/role in that level range. Maybe /w all cleric would yield up to 20 clerics but I don't think any anon/role would be included.

anon/role aside, kinda crazy that there are more enchanters @ level 60 then all the hybrids combined, 4x fewer druids, and the other pure casters barely pull ahead combined.

I don't think its possible because you cant /who this information but

would love to see a male/female character perspective, Ogre warriors not that rare, FEM ogre warriors on the other hand.

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.
