sees_all1 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Can we get a script to check how many users are on the hiscores every day? I think that data would be pretty interesting to look at. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wut?This has nout to do with forums and would be ridiculously dull. It'll just creep up on the few that f2p knock out put under to 1mil then stay there.

obfuscator Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Moved to website updates and corrections. What do you mean when you say "on the hiscores"? Do you just mean in the total number of users appearing on the "total" hiscore list? EDIT: Actually, moved again to website discussion. My bad!

D. V. Devnull Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Given the recent Tip.It Times article, "New Metric to Judge Jagex", I think that what SantasLittleHelper wants is a day-by-day statistical graph/listing of how many P2P'ers are currently on the RS HighScores? If that's the case, I would support it, seeing as that would be useful to know about and it would help keep us aware of the overall state of RS. :geek: ~D. V. "Possible support?"

sees_all1 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Right, so the first page is and will probably always behttp://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore/hiscores.ws The last page is in a link at the bottom, right now its at 32040, which takes us to the very last player in the hiscores, Magebank at 704878ish. If Magebank stays member, you can find the last person by searching for their rank. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, Magebank becomes no longer in last place on the now P2P-only highscores list. The best approach would be to start from the highscores front page, just simply jump to whatever the last page is, and then check for the last rank number listed, not the name at that rank. As I type this, 32052 pages, and a final rank number of 705138 are listed on the highscores. Any name could be in that last slot, and at any given time. But, it won't always be the same person, that's pretty much for certain. :geek: ~D. V. "Here's the missing puzzle piece, explained in a little detail..."

Devnull You're missing the fact that Magebank and P H A T are both users with 9hp accounts that wont be levelling any skills to keep a "pure account". So yes while it may be inaccurate to plus or minus a few players, it's pretty much a guarantee that they will stay at the lowest rank considering the only way they will be bumped up is if another 9hp account gets members again without levels in any skill. I know for a fact that P H A T was at the bottom of the highscores since it went P2P and only recently got bumped because Magebank subscribed. So yes, while not perfect, it would be a very close representation by just tracking one or both of their ranks.

And overall I still stand by whats the point?It's gonna creep back up to the full 1million entries limiter and then will remain there as a backlog of people just too low to get on will build up and be instantly filling any slots for quitters.

Yes pulling the rank of the last person on the last page would be the most precise but just tracking Magebank is an easy alternative if needed. Also I believe the highscores was changed to accommodate 2 million players ages ago, and unless this has been changed it's very unlikely that the member count will pass this number. The point of doing this is the same as tracking one's stats, the current number of players online, or any other statistic, it's to collect data which would be interesting to look at.

If they discontinue being P2P at any time, you instantly lose tracking until either another name is selected, they resume being P2P, and/or another method such as what I've suggested with "last page, last name" is used to do the tracking. If I were the coder for a tracker like this, then I would take the safest approach that I possibly could for making sure it wouldn't quit working suddenly. :geek: ~D. V.
