How others are calculating their player statistics? I have
always seen people stating that a mud X averages between
"100-200". I have been wondering whther other mud admins are
not interested in more exact numbers at all. The statistics I
have seen seems to show the impression of the player count as
seen from players' point of view.
Statistics for BatMUD are generated from exact playtimes. When
a player logs in (or logs out, or linkdeaths) a log entry is
made (almost standard ENTER log in LPMuds). After playing
sessions are generated based on the data in the ENTER
log. Length of sessions are calculated in seconds, meaning
that we know how many seconds BatMUD is mplayed daily, monthly
and yearly. The average player count is then easy to
calculate, as well as it is very easy to generate various
statistics because those sessions are kept in a database.
The results of those statistics calculations are available in
our WWW pages at <URL:<A HREF="http://www.bat.org/Reports/">http://www.bat.org/Reports/</A>>.
Doesn't other muds are interested in statistics, or why they
do not seem to collect/show more exact data?
Petri
