The Genesis Census has been expanded so that the hourly snapshot not only
counts the total players online, but also records which guilds they
are in. Henceforth, as time passes and more data is collected, we will be
able to analyze the activity levels of guilds (as many of you have suggested
we should.)
Here is a sampling from one of the recent census polls during prime time
play:

If you don't see your guild listed above, it is because no members were
logged on when the census poll was performed. As you can see, the total
players logged on were 30. The sum of the numbers below the total is
obviously more than 30, but this is due to the fact that most players are
members of more than one guild, and show up in up to 4 different tallies.
Looks like the biggest guild membership belongs to the Smiths, if this
is an accurate sample of the general trend!
Fascinating!
