So it has been 1 year since I started doing these monthly updates and below we can see the peaks and troughs of 1 year in the world of Dawnspire. This monthly the top 100 managed 42666 minutes or 711.10 hours of game play this month, That's up on last months average by 28.9 hours. That's not counting all those who never made the top 100 or stopped short of 30 minutes. This is now the best score in the past year, even though it did not feel as busy as the previous month
We currently have 4313 members, that's up 193 bot/members since last month at this time. I do think there are a fair number of accounts that are bots or never used and should be culled from the community.
This only takes into account games between May 1st and 31th up until 7.53pm. Anything after that isn't counted.
As usual Pimp has been running a server almost 24/7 for most of this month so thanks to him. After last months high player numbers have begun to slip a little so we still need old and new players to return to both game and forum, so pass on the word.
One year in Alendere.

Swiss Posted more images of ways he was altering the game code and asked for your input incase anyone missed it see link below. Hopefully we will finally get our hands on this and his other AI improvments soon. He also stated the bot Ai will alunch on the 15/06/10
http://dawnspire.tinyrocket.se/forum/index.php/topic,868.0.htmlI also found an old Project I put together and started to post it in the hope that it would engender much needed forum debate, conversation and opinions. Sadly it did not so I have abandoned continuing with it.
Finally as you go about your business think kindly of the bots for they have played 7449 days since this server was set up in the month of September 2008, grinding those achievments for little reward or complement from us. see their details below. And think kindly on those who consider the bots their friends.
http://dawnspire.tinyrocket.se/#showPlayer&id=561 This will be the last battle report from me, I leave it to others to take up the mantle. I probably won't be around much in the next few months so happy gaming.
