He talks about how figures are subjective and then you try and explain how your subjective figures are better than his description.<br /><br />They are still subjective... Just because you logged in during prime hours and saw 500 one day and then 2 months later saw 350 that really means nothing. You have no idea what circumstances brought that trend into being.<br /><br />It could simply be that a good movie came out that day and everyone was watching... and maybe the numbers will swell a couple hours after normal prime time because of that... You just can't calculate all the variables and trying to use completely inaccurate tools like Warheap and all that census stuff is the same thing. You are trying to find a pattern in a slow and inaccurate system and any patterns you find in there will be a small and trembling weather vane hand pointing in a vaguely south eastern now westernish direction in the middle of a wild storm and in the end it all gives you a hint of nothing.<br /><br />Sure it can catch a huge and massive change or shift.... but chances are we'll notice that and be notified of that in many more obvious ways.bugtugsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-62592300714488694892009-08-11T00:59:43.976+01:002009-08-11T00:59:43.976+01:00Like summer.Like summer.Durtbockshttp://www.killfrenzy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-36333500816994506882009-08-10T22:40:17.205+01:002009-08-10T22:40:17.205+01:00Numbers are fascinating, and I find myself using t...Numbers are fascinating, and I find myself using them to help prove my point. In no way do I think any numbers about WAR's sub numbers can be totally accurate, but it does give us a pattern if you follow warheap, waranalytics, warcraftrealms(census), etc<br /><br />For example right now Census has the population numbers going up. It is based on 30 day activity so anyone that quit after the last patch is still being calculated. Anyone who has rerolled is now adding to the numbers. All the server mergers are showing new chars on those servers, but their old character on the now closed server is still being calculated until it becomes over 30 days inactive.<br /><br />Also just like when Aion comes out. It will take 30-45 days for the Census numbers to compensate for the people leaving, and if they log in still randomly it will give you a false sense of population, and not activity.<br /><br />My biggest tool I use census for is to see how many are online currently, and for each tier. If I see 500 people on during prime hours, and 2 months later its 350 than you know something is going on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507484851860959875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-43693400871489530672009-08-10T19:29:11.436+01:002009-08-10T19:29:11.436+01:00RF Online had good potential, but was just waaaaaa...RF Online had good potential, but was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too grindy.
