...on a related note it would be interesting to see some data on how fast some of the older "new" servers go from high to low population once a couple of new servers are up, specifically PvP servers...
I actually have been collecting stats on that for a little while now (on your suggestion from before ) but I haven't set it up for display yet. I'll try to get that done soonish.
Averaged over 2 hour intervals for Bleeding Hollow. What do you think? I'll incorporate these into the site eventually, but for now, this is a good teaser =)
A sample bar graph may give us an idea of what works, maybe a bar graph and some sort of collation of several days/weeks of hourly status since people may be very interested in the averages for their playing time? (mainly to cover hours not sampled by census...)
That's a nice, clean picture that tells you a lot at first glance. That picture would probably give me the best idea of server population for a specific server at a quick glance.
Very interesting to see servers that were added a little while ago, like Cho'gall, they don't do well when even newer servers are added...
Something weird with Kael'Thas, getting some errors there, otherwise it looks very nice and paints a very clear picture of which servers have queue issues etc.
