Announcing Sundren Stats!

[Jaeram]

And in case your wondering, even the more active players would get a beat down for this. People like Jaeram, Nickbeat, Gairun, and Kangleton would not be safe from this, and their some of our more influential posters.

Woot, I'm an influential poster.

I don't care what some of the nay sayers are nay saying , I think this stats page/program you made is really cool. I like being able to see how many people are higher levels than Orrick, lol. I like being able to see the breakdown of races/classes/ other stuff.

So, again, good job LH and anyone else who helped with it.

Edit : On the topic of things like a toggle/filter, I think it would be cool if we could search for a player or character by name with it, and see when last they were on, level, etc. I would love to see that kind of functionality.

Hm, one problem is, the number of classes out there isn't from "The last thirty days", is it? because, I see 97 warlocks there.. It might be nice to separate it, have one statistics for the overall amount of classes for the server, and then one for the last thirty days. For warlocks, it isn't a problem, because Salisse and Alyrian are the only ones, I believe.

Well the trouble with 'last 30 days' is that it would pick up any newbie who joined the server and thought they could make a restricted character without going through the requests, right? A level 1 drow gets on the stats even though none are allowed except for DM characters, doesn't it?

[Gairun]

I really like the stats page guys, good work LH. I have to mirror the same question as Dark presence on how the stats work as well. If I made a drow warlock and logged him on, got stuck in the starting room, then logged off and never played him again would that be counted on the stats page?

Also I really like your idea for a toggle LH, I always like filters.

I could make a player specific stat page, but I'm concerned about the OOC info it would contain. Imagine people using it to find out how much gold or XP you have. While part of me thinks it would be great to see your character profile on the web, another part of me fears it would be abused.

But doesn't the overall one do the same thing, as well? It just takes all the characters existing forever, even if they're unused. The last thirty days just gives you a closer look to what are the active ones, not how many of those exist (And are rotting unused) overall.

Unless it says 30 days, it's all time.

Yes, it would. Unless it says last 30 days, it's all time, so any character created--even if they're 20 seconds old--are counted.

While that information may not be valuable to you, that information is important to us. If people are only playing for 20 seconds, we want to know why. Did they create the wrong character? Make a spelling typo in their name? Try to get into the system as a locked race/class? Etc.

21.20 Days! *feels lightheaded* well now i know why I never have any time to do things...

Great work! I for one does appreciate being able to see how i slip further and further down the addiction that is Sundren.

[GatorPhD03]

Very nice!

[Subal]

LH, what would you think of also a stat that tells the state of the server Evil Vrs Good? that could tell us how the balencing act is in sway

[undeadsteak]

Probably so much more evil. Which is a good thing, of course. ^_^

Is there a way to attach toggle searchable, or something like it, to profiles? That way people can pick whether or not they want their profiles shown. It would be cool if I could show off characters

[undeadsteak]

Oh yes, people showing off how much they grind and farm. :P

That's not entirely fair...
