Announcing Sundren Stats!

[Kangleton]

Maximum level is 30? And there are PC's at that level?

According to this, there are 24 PC's above level 15, with many of them being even higher than 20...

Is that accurate?

What about the Animal PC, and the Undead PC? We have those, too?



P.S. Mwahaha, I'm one of the top ten richest.

[Leaving Hope]

Nice! Though when you click on levels it says "Race Breakdown" even though the graph is for levels

Fixed.

I'd love a feature where you can see who is currently playing online, and what character.

You can get that to some extent from the "recently active" section the overview page. I've expanded it to 20 people so you can get more of a picture of who's on the server.

Is that accurate?

It is. Please remember this functionality is completely OOC.

I just have one question, why would I need to know all this? I'm not sure how it will help RP in game at all.

The more information we can gather, the more we can identify how we can improve the game. Plus, I think it's pretty cool to be able to see these stats--and even cooler that we make them available to our players. It's our way of sharing with you the state of the world.

You may have heard that Fire Genasi are rare--well, now you know how rare, and how you should respond when seeing one in-game. Perhaps you want to create a rogue, and want to know what race to pick; you can now see what races are used by our players and make an informed choice when creating one in-game.

There's no limit to what we can do with this. In the future it will expand with deities, genders, PvP stats, factions and much more. Imagine seeing an online profile for your character that you can share with your friends. Imagine having an online bank through the website where you can transfer funds to other characters, and check your balances.

Though, I have to be honest: your response doesn't seem very kind. We volunteer hours and hours to improve Sundren, and your response is "how does his help me?" Sorry, maybe your question is genuine, but it seems a little rude to me. Please clarify. You know people misunderstand each other over the web all the time.

Remember... DMs have PCs which they use for various purposes, and the login might not trigger any recognition with you!

Yeah I agree with Leaving Hope, this is just downright rude. He spends all this time working on this for players and your attitude is "Why do I need this shit?", not the nicest thing to do for someone's hard work.

[Verrath]

There is a Druid, a Monk, a Ranger, a Rogue, a Wizard and a Barbarian there that has no race.

And an Assassin at class position 1? o.O Don't you need to have a base class first?

(I LOVE browsing this, thanks!)

When I looked at it last night I figured that the level 16-19 ish ones were pretty believable for player characters.

Are DM characters being used for plot lines or other things being counted as well? I find it hard to believe that there is a level 30 player character on the server who isn't a DM?

Unless it's someone who for some reason didn't get their level pushed back down to 15 a few (months?) ago. I'm just curious because I figure with the level 15 grind cap, exp from that point only from DM events (until quests are implemented), and no automatic rp exp, I didn't think it would be possible to get to any level higher then like 17 or 18 with the average amount of DM event exp, assuming you participated in every single event, it should still take many months to reach those levels.

This is great. Now I can see who is online before logging in, which is nice.

True. If you didn't appreciate the stats page there was no need to actually diss it, that's just being rude to people who work free for your enjoyment... not cool.

[Saulus]

There are no PCs above level 15, any records above that are most likely just myself or other DMs who have previously logged on with another character to muck around with things. From time to time I'll do much the same when I'm testing out things and want to get in and get out.

Remember when I'm testing things like Schild Mountains I'm not going to be able to waltz in there with even a level 20 and survive.

In many cases, Verrath, these are people who try to login with hacked characters that we stop, or DM characters used for RP. Rather than being blank, it should probably say something like "INVALID"

We have ways to filter these characters, and I'll work on doing that. Thank you for the helpful feedback.

[Jaeram]

Ahh, cool, thanks for clarifying that.

None of your beeswax my son! Quit pushing for info

My question is genuine. I honestly cannot see anyway in which this will really enhance my experience of Sundren. I understand it is a lot of work, and admire your will to provide a service, but I can't help but feel the time would have been better spent on developing quests or other in game activity. I look at the number of players there, and see how many are currently active. Perhaps there is an indicator in that?

[Vekin]

I disagree, if you dont understand why something has been done ask

Dang Vanya. You RP a 6 Cha really well!
