I started automatic storing of statistics for current number of players a few days back.

 

 

 

If anyone's interested I could post these now and then.

138 Combat as of Summer 2010 - Retired Summer 2010

yeah very interesting, how are you getting the datas?

 

There are currently 72483 people playing!

 

 

 

On the RS frontpage.

 

 

 

Yeah I concluded as much, but is it automatic like every 5 minutes or he just randomly looks at the front page once or twice a day and input the numbers himself in a spreadsheet?

 

 

 

Just wanna know what's his method...

Yea, I remember when we had thousands of bots logged in too. I like it better now that the numbers aren't inflated.

I wrote a php script that fetch the current number of players from the RS homepage.

 

 

 

I automatically fetch once every hour, 24 hours a day and store all values in a database.

 

 

 

After that I simply wrote another php script that creates a graph from the stored values.

 

 

 

No manual labor is required. Well, except for uploading the image and posting about it here.

Cool. Be interesting to see the numbers go up on weekends - especially now that school has started for pretty much everyone.

Very interesting.

 

 

 

What would be interesting with about 2-3 months worth of datas:

 

 

 

-peak and bottom times during the day (using whatever time you're on, we can always translate to our own time zone)

 

-peak and bottom during the week.

 

 

 

If you don't keep this thread updated, at least come back when you have enough datas to determine those!

Interesting graph. Keep updating plz! At what time in a day rs has the most player count? Also love to see play count during the weekends.

This could be interesting to watch. I want to see how high the numbers get during updates, and such.

 

 

 

Also, finding peak times would be very interesting to see. I wish we had this data from a few years back, and the number of bots removed so we could see how much the actual player base has grown.

I'm sure Jagex has some way of tracking it, though it's probably not public.

Could be interesting to compare over several months.

 

Maybe an archive of each month should be saved?

 

 

 

I will keep all data so anything is possible.

 

 

 

I also have a year graph, but it doesn't show much yet (obviously) but I'll upload that one too once there's a month or two of data.

 

 

 

It will be interesting to see how the graph changes due to JaGeX updating (or downgrading) the game.

Damn. I remember it down at under 1000 people playing at times.. Interesting to see the difference during a day though!

It's not about the other people, its about shooting cute furry things that explode.

I wonder what's the highest amount of players which has been logged on at any given time in the history of RuneScape. :-k

[ PLAYERS ]: There are currently 85,739 players online on 162 servers 529/server, 26.46% capacity. The online record is 251,027 set on Dec 9 2007.

 

 

 

Funny how the date was one day before the day we all know.

New summon monster. You get 99 summon and complete a hard quest to gain the ability to summon Jesus, who splits the waters allowing you to walk to a new port town where you unlock the sailing skill. Obviously ;)

 

That was Moses you idiot.

 

That gets fixed in the bugfix the following week. Maybe.

Well, the US lost a huge amount of kids the year that the Internal Revenue Service started asking for Social Security numbers when naming dependants on tax day. I think the numbers are in the millions.

 

 

 

Greatest infanticide in history? \'

Yeah I've noticed since the main changes to RuneScape, pk'in removal and trade limits that game has not been quite as active in the amount of people it says are currently playing I remember times when 180k+ all week long. Maybe a lot of those where bot's & Chinese farmers..

 

 

 

 

 

My first post in a long old time :?
