Just some population graphs

[georgehabadasher]

Would it be possible to show population as a % of total players, similar to how the front page does it?

This is really neat. Also, if this is accurate info, and I'm reading it correctly, then that means Order is almost always outnumbered, which is surprising to me- I always thought more would choose Order. Guess not.

During NA order zerged the server for like 2 years straight.

But a lot of them are the same players they just swap to the side that gets easy keeps/forts because it is rewarded and defending a keep from the zerg has almost zero reward.

Makes sense then. It just feels like to me Order is always the underdog, but that's just how I see it- it's probably not entirely true.

Hey!

I hope I understood you correctly - I changed the combined-total graph to reflect the % per realm, hope that works for you!

I enjoy observing trends and have often looked at the current population numbers displayed on RoR's homepage. However, I couldn’t find any graphs or visualizations for these numbers over time—perhaps I missed something!

Being curious, I’ve taken the liberty of scraping the webpage every 5 minutes (hopefully none of the RoR devs object to this—if so, just let me know, and I’ll stop) and feeding the data into an old trusty RRD file. From there, I generate a few graphs, also every 5 minutes.

Here’s the result:

Maybe someone else will find this interesting, and it should get more compelling as more data accumulates. I’ve only been scraping for about two days so far.

Small UI suggestion - could you provide some type of tabs/list to swap between different graph types (and to know what's available in the first place), without the need to cycle through them to go back to the beginning?

Duh, of course that has to be there... This is what happens when I just add stuff, forgetting the obvious.
Thanks for pointing it out. Added a dropdown!
