Are any other servers as or near as well surveyed as BH

It seems we are doing a good job on the Bleeding Hollow server of conducting lots of frequent surveys.

Do any other servers take as frequent readings?

I would like to compare some of the higher surveyed servers against each other. The ones that take infrequent ones aren't really as reliable for doing comparrisons.

Here's a list of serverids, don't have time right now to translate to server names.

A big problem on a lot of realms is that one side will be well represented, but the other side will have very little collected data. We really need more people across the board to be submitting data. We're getting a lot, but with some 200 servers, which translates into 400 server/faction combs, we need a lot of submissions to cover all aspects.

On a related note, it would be interesting to have the number of contributions for the last 30 days shown without having to delve to the diagram page showing hourly concurrent population. Obviously a server like Gurubashi (400+/400+ contributions) or BH (200+/300+) will have decent credibility in the numbers shown while servers like Blackrock (60/20 or something like that) or Tichondrius have a lot more possible variance.

The reason I would like some kind of credibility rating is that a lot of people visiting the site either discount all the numbers since they find one set of data that looks wrong or they take all the numbers as gospel which is equally wrong. Something indicating that numbers are more or less likely to be accurate might help.

That's a good suggestion. I'll see what I can come up with.

I have added the number of entries to the main Census page right under the activity link. It should only show up when viewing servers specifically. Maybe that'll help!

Yes, that makes it easier to get this information. The colorcoding is also a nice touch, values for each color change are also very well set

Can we get that appearing on the US and Euro Realm Stats list too please.

It would let us see at a clance which are the realms with the more reliable figures and also which ones might need some help from people who could do a couple of extra surveys.

I would like to put it on those pages, but I'm limited on space. I'll see what I can do.

Still thinking of ways to get it on the realm stats pages. I may just end up color coding the popuation stats based on the number of entries.

I did modify the way that the Most Wanted list is populated. It now shows the realms with the fewest number of entries over the past 30 days. Some realm/faction combos are hardly ever updated. I start to wonder if I should remove those factions with such low values from even being included in the general statistics.
