Forum fun

Okay. I’ve long decided against posting this, since it can be seen as “personally identifiable data” in a way, which it really isn’t. It’s names, numbers and pure facts.

Number of characters in Popmundo

Popmundo Namesearch database was updated tonight. Also, for the first time ever (I think), I’m now publishing a graph showing the number of characters in Popmundo over time. Data goes back as far as 2004 and reaches until today, October 26, 2009.
I gathered the datapoints using the Web Archive and my own collected data over the time I’ve been playing Popo. You have to excuse how the this looks, I have more data points for 2009, so half of the graph is 2009, the first half is for multiple years! The x-axis is not in proper scale.

Something happened in March. Game peaked at around 410,000  and there has been a steady decline since then. What could it be? Was it because of the shorter inactivity period introduced into the game back then (no logon after 70 days = death), or has there been a more active culling of clones? Or people got bored…?

It’s not for me to speculate, I only tell facts!
