Haven player numbers graphed

Postby weshesh » Tue Dec 14, 2021 7:49 pm

I graphed W9-W13 player numbers using data from the Haven Population Tracker to rank them and attempt to predict W13 longevity. https://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=41293

Image
I'd speculate that W12 kept player numbers high initially because it coincided with pandemic lockdowns and that W13 is a regression to the mean.

I'm sure some of you have better data that would be more amenable to curve fitting, and I would ask that you share it.

I am looking on graph.

On ~215 day, players stop leaving. Stable number of players is playing (around 150-200). Means world is dead.

Means the game needs something to cause an increase in awareness and to attract players before then.

@everyone: Maybe compare this graph to games that have release cycles and player decay.

The login counter is per account not per IP. This dataset is worth a lot less than you're giving it credit for

I've been under impression that every world reset has been more successful than the previous, but apparently w11 has the current day 1 peak record?

Server has been more stable than ever (even on first week peak player counts aside couple of hiccups on the first hours), are you talking about client crashes?
