Just for kicks I collected PvP YT for the month of June and fed it into Splunk (www.splunk.com):

Notes:

- I did my best to stay logged in for the entire month of June. There were several periods of time (<12 hours) where I was unable to collect the log data. Specifically on the 11th (power out for about 6 hours) and the 25th (rig overheated and blue screened). It's pretty taxing to monitor that my client is running 24x7 so this will probably be my first and last go with this. An RSS feed or some method of getting the data would be wonderful.

- I used Splunk's dedup functions to remove YT as the result of bindcamping (consecutive YTs with the same victor and victim were counted as a single kill)

- Filtered out all <GuildA> kills <GuildA> YTs

- Filtered out all kills in <The Arena>

- Filtered out all kills by <Zade> or <Sirken>

- Total Kills and Kills by Day do not reflect filtered data (only the pie charts)

- In the real world I manage a clustered Splunk installation consuming more than 75GB of log data per day so I just thought it might be interesting to visualize some "interesting" data for once

- RAW data can be provided if anyone wants it for whatever reason

- This is in no way an analysis or commentary, just a visualization of the data

Enjoy.

do you filter out guild on guild kills? just wondering, if not id fix that

This was dangerous in classic because for a very long time anyone nearby could loot you when you died.

And yeah if you think a single 23k plat kill was good, I'd love to have everyone's rap sheet posted.

I can verify some people would stfu entirely. I am 80% sure this is currently possible.

Give us the logs.

diff between commenting on the fact that plane of sky has tons of pvp action from guild on guild kills and those need to be purged from the records and flat out asking if he's trying to filter out guild v guild kills

hard to understand i know but read it carefully at least 4 times

I suppose if we want our own leader board and stat tracking, someone must keep a char logged in at all times and take up the noble cause.

If this shit was more classic, I'd dedicated my "light bill" (as my old man calls it) to the cause.

Mayhaps someone more immersed and equally impartial to the process would be willing to do so.

A reminder to the one who does: being caught doctoring this info will result in a ForumQuest perma death.
