Hey there,

I saw that the website is referred to often and I feel bad that the data hasn't been kept up to date [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Many samples will be necessary over the next few days to make sure it's as accurate as possible, I'll take the necessary time to do so.

Hey so I got everything set up again. Ran an update just now.

I found 220 new characters and updated 209 of which I had already seen.

I'll try to run this three times a day for a few days, morning, afternoon and evening. I'll wait a week or so before expiring older records so that data is kept relevant and is not skewed simply by a smaller amount of characters.

Enjoy !

Have they made a comeback I don't know about?

Nah, I checked and all the records I have for that guild dates from back in February.
Characters that have not been seen in the next week or so will be expired so records like these will not be a problem anymore.

Doing a full week of scans in the early morning, afternoon, and evening will compliment all time zones. To find concurrent UNIQUE users, you should set the expired data for 2 weeks, 1 isn't enough time. IMO.

What do you mean ? If I see the same character twice, I update the record, it isn't accounted as two characters - is that what you mean for unique users ?
If I haven't "seen" a character for a month, it would usually expired and be removed from the statistics - but since I haven't updated the database since february, I didn't want to remove everything.. just yet.

Things are going well, made 4 updates today and found more than 800 new characters. Up to 5095 now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
