Well any actual statistics about usage of the client is not collected. But by analyzing tiles sent something can be said:
Yesterday on 8.4. Purus Pasta was used for 972 hours in total.
This is almost 50% less than on 3.4.
Maybe some have switched clients, maybe people just play less.

666 people have started the client. Out of those,
508 have played more than 15 minutes,
423 more than 1 hour
and 239 more than 8 hours.
Bit more than 20 tokens have been used more than 8 hours every day since the world start.

But as some people use same private maps they use the same token and thus count as 1. So the actual number is maybe few dozen or something higher.

I would have no problem giving up my map data as long as I get a copy of the whole entire world map in my game 2 it's something I would be willing to opt into

also being able to type in a name of the thing wall and be able to go to that location on the map not necessarily character but pinpoint that location on the map so I can head towards it that would be a nice feature on the public map on the website and also in game

Aye, it was more of the seerching memes.
Most long time players know that shubla is pretty trustful.
Everyone in church of Satan uses this client :)

We're thinking of doing a series to fill in the public map.
But the golden rule of custom clients is always, ALWAYS
only use the one's that you trust.

anyone of these custom clients can self update, throw in a keylog for one hour then update again and poof. nobody would no the better.

Who needs a keylogger when you store the credentials locally ?

What's funny, is that Loftar developed a token system to avoid to store passwords locally. :D
