For those who like stats, here is a compressed chart showing the entire history of the playerbase census data, beginning with my first week as Keeper and extending to the present day:

Fascinating stuff!

The trends may seem depressing, but notice that both February and March of 2010 were healthier than those same months in 2008. Obviously, we have work to do to bring the game back to health. The good news is ... we are doing this work! Keep doing your thing with roleplay, teamwork, and whatever else you find fun. We wizards will soon have exciting news in the way of promotion. Then the *real* fun (for me) begins, and we get to watch the numbers on these charts climb, and look back on Q1 and Q2 2010 as the baseline from which we grew.

Onward!

Nice stat monitoring...

Do you have any figures on good versus evil?
I always though that there were generally more goodies about.
In recent times it seems the trend has reversed. :?

The rallying that has taken place in both the Army of Angmar and the Dragonarmies has, indeed, increased the representation we have been seeing of evil players in the realms.

The census does not track alignment, but I often do check it myself. The census does, however, track guild participation.

So ... some interesting stats will follow. Keep in mind:

- The following charts display the census hit for 22:00 gametime on each day (prime time?)
- The following charts track the last month of play.
