Numbers - 2/20/11
 

This is an updated version of this thread.

Since January 26th, 2009:
- 3,113,212,344 damage points have been inflicted*
- 276,792,665 shots have been fired
- 4,384,857 kills have been made
- 927,605 people have logged in (not unique logins)
- 4,138 support tickets have been made

Since October 6th, 2009 (when I started counting):
The sign following the number indicates change since the previous post I made.

In the past 30 days:
Now:
- $40,694,435 (+) in bank accounts
- 2 millionaires (=) (judging by bank accounts)

Top 100 players by hours**
Top 100 players by hours that have logged in in the past 30 days
(continued below)

Top 100 players by kills**
Top 100 players by kills that have logged in in the past 30 days
These are just hard statistics which I thought some might find interesting, I'm not forming any kind of conclusion based on them.

* This statistic does not look plausible when compared with the measurement taken last time I did this and is probably inaccurate.
** Anyone who hasn't logged in since October 6th, 2009 will not be listed here.

The person on UN with the most hours has more hours than the person on Era with the most hours.

I like seeing these stats. The account types are always especially interesting.

Is that "shots fired" statistic actually the number of hits registered? Seems like that would be more likely than the actual number of bullets fired, because if so I would expect that number to be much higher.

Edit: Down to 709 damage dealt per kill.
In the previous thread it was 1290 damage dealt per kill.

So people are either running less, healing less, killing more quickly/precisely or dealing less collateral damage; or ULMS isn't being hosted as often.

Jan 26th 2009 -> Feb 20th 2010 = 390 days
2,141,484 kills / 390 days = 5490.98 kills per day

Jan 26th 2009 -> Feb 20th 2011 = 755 days
4,384,857 kills / 755 days = 5807.76 kills per day
Proof that, on average, kills are increasing.

(4,384,857 kills - 2,141,484 kills) / 365 = 6146.23 kills per day for the last year
= 256.09 kills per hour
= 4.27 kills per minute

oh coool- how're you storing this information? If you want I can pull some from Era iPhone =D (if you paste me scripts)
thanks

SQL queries. I have a big table on Era which keeps track of all the information.

I have Era iPhone's information.

Short huh?

Takes less CPU :)

The statistics from the last 30 days seem high compared to over the past year and a half. Anything to do with player traffic increase from Era iPhone do you think?

I would think most of it is the result of observer mode being removed, since the majority of the increases in unique players is trials.

wow lol rams .. he started to play when i quit :s

lol at wils kills

He´s always online, what did you expect?

Mental note: Over 100 players (Who still play) Wasted 3k+ hours on era alone
*Lul

Now just think of those 24,000 players and if like 10% of them bought guns/items through the gold system ;)

Selling guns/items through the gelat shop (assuming this is what you meant instead of "gold system") is the worst thing you could do. Look at Zone.

It's still possible to make a pretty good profit off of the gelat shop.

That's about $6,500 for some minor items that don't ruin the game. If subscriptions were removed, more players would flood in, and more items like these could be added.

turn era into BattlefieldHeros style so we can all be wallet warriors

~11 damage per shot(though I excluded other forms of damage)?

Yeah I don't get it either.
That's assuming that every shot is a hit.
But if we assume that shots that didn't hit also count, then we would expect the shots fired number to be much higher and the average damage to be much lower??

No, you'd have to divide by the number of shots that actually make contact which is(most likely) lower, which means the average damage per shot would be higher. However this does not take into account other forms of damage, like melee and grenades and fire and such which could account for a hefty percentage of damage dealt, meaning the average damage per shot would be lower.

Yeah but I doubt that all other forms of damage combined, assuming they're even counted, would add up to even 20% of the total damage.
Other damage sources would need to account for almost 50% of all damage to reduce the average damage from guns (~20) to 11.
Would be interesting to see the damage source breakdown statistics though, if they do exist.

Statistically that's still relevant.

Like I said, the statistics for damage done don't look right to me based just on the last statistics I recorded. I'll see about setting up some more comprehensive stats soon.
