Patreon statistics

[Cherek]

in this thread me and/or Greneth will keep you updated about how things are going with our Patreon page and our paid ads. Now and then we'll post data about how much money our Patreon page is generating and also keep you up to date about average player numbers, new characters creations, and other interesting data.

These are the numbers for created characters and characters leaving the tutorial in 2023 so far (without any paid ads):

Is it possible to take those numbers and seperately mark those that are registered as seconds or have same IP as existing players?

Just to know how many might actually be logins from new people.

No, that would require a completely new way to track things. Everything is _possible_ of course, but I don't think the work/reward ratio would be very good here. Also, I don't think removing alts from the statistics would have much value either, as alt-creation numbers are likely to remain very stable over time and not be affected by any promotion efforts. So, if the new player numbers go up, we know with almost 100% certainty that it is thanks to the ads.
