could someone explain

[r.guppy]

I am wondering how the stats work on server.
I thought it was to show how players are doing and who got what, for example I was second to get 150 strength, and was pleased to see my name there, looking today my name has gone, does this mean as players get the score it is put under the best whatever, if so then why before the wipe when i managed to get 150 strength my name did not appear.
also if it is only possible to get 120 intelligence in game, how is it possible two players are over that.
Also two days ago I was online for over twelve hours but it was not logged.
On average I play 12 hours a day, yet when I look at best player averages i\'m never on there yet the maximum on there is 9.2522.

Erm, who cares how this page works? The only useful part of it is the list of who is online ATM. The rest should be gotten rid of better sooner than later. You are the proof that it encourages powerlevelling and whatnot (as if any proof was needed). :tdown:

[r.guppy]

ouch that hurt yes i power level, but i also role play as many know me in game will tell you.
all i ask is how does stats work.

[Seytra]

Well, for the logon time, this averages out overr all time passed since creation of your char. This means that it counts every day you don\'t log in or only short, too. Thus, even if you are on 12 hours on average 5 working days a week you won\'t get listed with that if you don\'t log on for 12 hours on weekend days, too.

For the rest: the thing may simply have changed since the wipe, I wouldn\'t know, never paid attention to it.

We\'ve agreed that the player stats bit will be removed in the future once there\'s more things to do. Atm it keeps people amused.

[r.guppy]

well i will keep this short as bighting my tung herts.
Thank you for that very indepth explanation
i fell so much more informed now

First I must apologize for double post.

 Point 1: Strength has little to do with actual fighting, on the other hand it is very useful for a miner who wishes to carry more of a load, also very handy for a hunter to carry more, so to assume I am a PLer  based on that fact alone, shows to me you are ignorant of what stats do for you in game.

 Point 2: Many I have talked to in game have found that the server stats page is very useful, to see how well you are doing in regards to hours on-line, who to avoid in Duels situations (and before you put you foot in it again my DP is - 40), and to see who is doing well in Adviser Points, so if you need some simple advice and they are online you can (tells) them for advice if no one answers you on help channel .

 So to sum up; if you still think this should be scrapped then so be it,  but I would ask you to do a simple poll to see if indeed players use it and if they do; how to improve it. Do not kill something just because you do not like it, after all we are here to help, as you are.

 I for one love this game and see a huge chance to build something unique, I will be the first to say my role play is not very good but am learning from those who do,  I am hindered by the fact that my spelling is none too good and have to keep to small words, but I must commend the players in-game as most are very helpful with my spelling and thanks to these kind players have been steadily improving. It must be equally hard for players who are just learning English. (Spell checked by the wife before posting.)

i have no clue what that post was about

but to let you know, i suck at RP too... though i try sometimes. so your not alone in that boat..

[r.guppy]

Point 1: is response to Seytra first reply.
 Point 2: is a reply to Xordan reply.
 The final paragraph is a BIG thank you to kind players in-game

Whatever you say Colonel \'Dirty\' Sanchez.... but one question... where are we going?

[Verrliit]

Janner,

Darling man, your RP is becoming wonderful, you love all who will let you, and is a way indeed.

Your spelling is a problem you will solve, in time.  I almost manage to ignore it for the most part.

The metrics on the website need to be expanded, if anything, to serve greater purpose than they do now.

And I want to put an end to the bickering over Power Leveler versus Role Player, once and for all.  Calling someone one or the other, has started to become an insult, and that should not be.

All of us enjoy each aspect of PS on varying levels, and there is nothing wrong with our preference, whatever it may be. Each and every player adds a unique contribution to the flavor of the world, and the more the variety the better.  But as far as type of play is concerned, it is a continuum, a range, and there are three extremes, not two.

To paraphrase the Tin Woodsman, in \"The Wizard of Oz\":

Some people like to go Role Play.

Some people like to go Power Level.

And some people like to go both ways.


Hugs and kisses Janner, who works hardest of us all, to find his way, and follow it, to see where it may lead.
