orgin Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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...

Omali Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Wow is that all? I remember 180k people at one stage in my rs career. *dreams back* Yea, I remember when we had thousands of bots logged in too. I like it better now that the numbers aren't inflated.

orgin Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 yeah very interesting, how are you getting the datas? 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.

xSxqPowerx Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Cool. Be interesting to see the numbers go up on weekends - especially now that school has started for pretty much everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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!

sheep455_is_the_best Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Could be interesting to compare over several months. Maybe an archive of each month should be saved? [Whip drops: 13] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBC Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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.

orgin Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmentail Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Damn. I remember it down at under 1000 people playing at times.. Interesting to see the difference during a day though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogsidoof Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 this was from a while back, but i cant really remember when, but i think it was from 2007... maybe #-o Owner of a Quest cape since 9/11/08It's not about the other people, its about shooting cute furry things that explode.

Libertherme Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I wonder what's the highest amount of players which has been logged on at any given time in the history of RuneScape. :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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.

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.

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? \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoswellCrash Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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 :? - Twitter | RuneScape FB Group | My PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
