It sure ain’t pretty

I was working on some old and new numbers again and decided to create a few pretty graphs for everyone. After all, number and graphs are always a joy to stare at! ;)

First up is a an updated graph of a something  I first posted in Trendy Charts. I never was happy with how the graph looked in the first place. Google completely ignored the date stamp, thus the graph was drawn in improper scaling. I don’t like to produce data that looks false.

Here’s a new one created with proper tools:

Number of characters in Popmundo

If you ask me, it sure ain’t a pretty view. Why did I ever choose purple in the first place? Oh, and that quick decline of players is awful too.

Second graph is data from last 19 days, plotting the number of logged in users that can be expected during day and night. Since central Europe dominates, the game is at its slowest during 5-7am and the busiest hours are during 17-22 (6-10pm) which really doesn’t come as a surprise. If East Asians and Americans were in greater numbers, the line would be much flatter.

All times in CET.

Here’s the same data broken down into 3 hour intervals and split into weekdays:

What can be seen from this is that Thursday has been a really busy day during the last 19 days. People also like to stay up late on Fridays to play Popo.

Final graph is the raw data this information was based on:

All of these graph are continually updated on Popodeus website in our statistics page. Make sure to visit it often!

Back in Coverage of forum-index I posted (a sort of) scatter plot for my forum database index. Since then I’ve pulled in lots more forum posts.

This plot covers forum posts id 1,200,000 to 1,450,000. Black spots are unindexed so far. Green spots are posted in Turkish forums, white ones are all other languages. If you look carefully, some few orange and blue spots are Dutch and Finnish respectively.

That’s it for now.
