On Dreamshadow the Citymaster access menu keeps track of guests
and connection types for a given period (usually, I reset this
every 30 days)...

*** October Login Statistics ***
Players' logins (includes new character first-time): 451
From September: -40% From Average: -61%
New Characters Created: 80
From September: -10% From Average: -10%
Visitor Logins: 52

*********************************
If I'm feeling particularly masochistic I'll compute the
average-visitors-per hour using the data from Citymaster. To whit,
236 guest logins over an 18-day period yields one every two hours,
down 248% from September. *sigh*
