Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
I'm pretty sure the Spring player stats page has been gone for a while. Does anyone have up to date stats about the player count? I'm interested to see what the "peak hours" are for Spring. It is a huge pain to get a decent sized game together when there's only 130-180 people on, compared to 200 or 300+ people.

USA gets screwed, as number of ingame players goes from 150 down to about 50 during our peak hours

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
Is that hour graph in GMT?
Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
not sure, but its either GMT or French time which is an hr different, so to get to central US time its either -5 or -6 hrs

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
Spring playerbase has increased a bit lately
Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
yeah, noticed that we have more players. wonder what caused this; was it all S44, or maybe springinfo, or what? whatever it was, we need more of it ^^

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
GMT -6 is US central time, but we're on daylight saving time so we're technically in CDT (Central Daylight Time) which is GMT - 5.
So, according to the graph the peak hours are 3:30PM to 5PM right now.

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
Looks like the number of players has been steadily growing since december (while previously it has been stagnating for at least 6 months):

Also, I had no idea 1vs1 battles were actually so popular! Or are those just people using TASClient for singleplayer?

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
maybe the 1vs1 games are devs testing stuff.
though i hardly test through the lobby.

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
I assume the periodic spikes are weekends, which is why the spikes are less pronounced during the summer months.

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
As far as I can see, 1vs1 games were always the most popular (though maybe it's because they need 8 times less players than a 8vs8...)Lolsquad_Steven wrote:Yeah been quite easy to get a 1v1 laterly, a few months ago i could have wait all day and been lucky to get one verse someone who just started and wanted to see how it works.

Re: Spring's Player Stats / Peak Hours
If you look at the number of players, we have now almost the same number of players in 1vs1, 3-8 players, 9-12 players, and 13-16 players games, with 3-8 and 9-12 player games slightly more popular.
13-16 games were seldom played before november-december 2008, which is interesting because it correlates with the increase of the player base. Did most of the new players went to play these games?
