Hours played in December.

[Persus]

The monthly average of time played this month is up a little. The top 100 managed 21459 minutes or 357.65 hours of game play this month, Thankfully this month the total was spread across a good number of people and not just King Faro. Up on last month by 25 hours or close enough. That's not counting all those who never made the top 100 or stopped short of 30 minutes.

We currently have 3492 members, that's up 88 since last month at this time. How they find us is still a mystery to me but keep em coming.

This only takes into account games between December 1st and 31th up until 19.06pm. Anything after that isn't counted.

As usual Pimp has been running a server almost 24/7 for All of this month so thanks to him. We still need old and new players to return so pass on the word.

Finally I was just doing this out of interest. Does antyone else find it useful. If so I'll keep it going when I can if not this will be the last one. The average monthly playing time since I started it is to follow.

A happy New Year when it comes.

I care. I like these posts. They make me feel... fuzzy.

Yeah keep them coming, I read them every time. Also a comparison chart in every monthly post would be nice, so one could see how the situation has developed over time.

+1

It would be nice to see the trend of new members each month... like if it is steadily increasing etc.

Ok I looked back and I started doing these in June. Unfortunatley I only started doing members in october. but below is the fluctuating chart.

Make of this what you will. taking out the phenomenal months of June and especially September we average 21532.20 minutes/358.87 hours of play a month. We also get roughly 96 members a month.


Most of these members don't seem to play for long or at all, we really need to try and fill the server at peak times between 17.00 and 20.00 hours mid week.

Did we have some community events in June and September? Or why are they much higher than the average?

Im assuming guild activity and guild versus guilds helped to add to the play times? ... Pimp tells me that it was only recently that guild activity stopped?

I don't think there was a single GvG last year (2009 folks), atleast not from our part.

[ReverendLostLamb]

I think Penat [ASS] was involved in a GvG with HG in 2009.

ASS vs. PjP
0 - 6

Honour Guard also played a few GvG last year.  I can't account for the rise in those 2 months but for the fact they are at the start and end of the summer school break or holiday season might be something to do with it. We did have 3 successful community versus community events though. I think I might see if I can get them up and running again.
