Planetside 2 Server Hourly Population Statistics

[DirtyBird]

Thx Pella I tried that one but its last data pull was 19th April.
Although that data will be good to compare to because it was before GU08.

I had some free time so I implemented a cache and fixed the errors I saw in it. I should probably go through the cache and manually edit the outliers, but in the mean-time it works again.

Also because of the cache you can see the full history again. It's at over 2 GB of data so querying it was timing out. The query is now touching the cache so it doesn't take anything really to render the full timeline for 2 months. In the future if this becomes prohibitive I'll probably edit it again to let you choose a range with a calender or something.

seems like the population is increasing overall instead of decreasing but it is hard to tell because it isn't the number of active players but just logging amounts

[Shogun]

nice that soe implemented the possibility to spy on them and extract the data they never give out on their own

it took 10 years until we got a playercount on ps1. it seemed classified all the time.

now with the api we can at least get a rough number. cool thing.

i wonder how the populations would change if chars were able to freely choose which server to play on.

I'm noticing this as well. I think populations are going up over the last 2-3 weeks.

that's great then , i'm expecting a huge influx of players after e3 let's hope they have inter-continental warfare by then . Let's hope the tutorial and the lattice are in by then to make sure they stick around playing the game

Population icrease might have to do with the loyalty sub people got, I'm taking everything out of it this month, I'll propably go away again once it ends.

I doubt we will have intercontinental warfare before 2014, we don't have enough continents and making em takes so long. I'd think we need atleast 6 or more

they said they were doing it with hossin because they are also making the battle islands at the same time for MLG so they will reuse the island between the continents in order to stop pop caps apparently

Thanks Sirisian.
For Briggs at least it certainly looks like the pops have balanced out over all.
I've noticed a lot more TR on and a little less NC.
Was the GU08 that good or was it the warpgate rotation

Yeah, guy above said it first, but check your character on the PS site...

My BR hasn't updated in a couple days (Think I've gone up 2 ranks from what it says I am).

This is freakin' cool info! Thanks!
