Peak-time in-game . . ?
« on: August 08, 2006, 10:55:56 pm »
What time of the day sees the most players in-game . . ?

It's strange jumping in seeing poor old Harnquist standing all alone, without anyone around him haggling for goods or training, or shouting out an auction or two.  Then last night, I'm down in the quiet, lonely caverns under the Temple, and there's nearly a dozen or so people mining away, re-living the dwarven marching song from 'The Wizard Of Oz' whilst doing so . . .

Living down in New Zealand, I'm wondering if I'm in game whilst the rest of the world are either at work, or asleep.  And I've heard comments in-game that it gets pretty quiet 'in the weekends' . . .

 . . . so what time of the day is usually peak time in terms of number of players online . . ?

I'm not sure, but I think it adapts to your local time.
To check that, look at your own time and look at the time on the far right, where the graph ends.
It seems to match here anyway.

I think that is an old graph, it doesn't seem to have changed in quite a while.
But it seems to me that peak is around 4-6 pm eastern time US. (probably getting the end of the Europeans and the beginning of the North Americans)
