Do you currently post live population numbers for WvWvW?
For example:
Current Match-up: Server-1/Server-2/Server-3
Number of players currently in all WvWvW maps.
-from Server1:
-from Server2:
-from Server3:
Number of players currently in Borderland 1
-from Server1:
-from Server2:
-from Server3:
Number of players currently in Borderland 2
-from Server1:
-from Server2:
-from Server3:
Number of players currently in Borderland 3
-from Server1:
-from Server2:
-from Server3:
I have to believe you guys track those numbers because of how integral it is to the current lag issue you guys are trying to solve.
Why not post those numbers?
If you don’t want to post live data – how about averages over time – as a variable in a history report. It would be easy to show that information in a graph. Just post it up after the match is over, in order to keep it fair during the live event.
The reason I ask is that it would be great information to use for recruiting. At the moment, we just guess. But actual numbers would shine some much needed light on the matter. We could quickly identify where we need to fill in gaps and then either solicit current community members to step up or recruit new members to do the job. It would also help those of us with limited time to identify when the best time to log in would be, in order to help our server the most.
Thoughts?
