| Author | A few numbers |
|---|
as of today 10/04/2011, here the list of accounts:
lvl 15 => 59 accounts
lvl 14 => 105 accounts
lvl 13 => 258 accounts
lvl 12 => 362 accounts
lvl 11 => 520 accounts
lvl 10 => 1.081 accounts
lvl 9 => 1.769 accounts
lvl 8 => 2.559 accounts
lvl 7 => 4.170 accounts
lvl 6 => 7.749 accounts
lvl 5 => 21.058 accounts
lvl 4 => 18.422 accounts
lvl 3 => 34.029 accounts
lvl 2 => 30.971 accounts
lvl 1 => 429.423 accounts
total around 552.535 accounts
so nearly 78% of accounts have not reached level 2!
Probably just a subscription and a few game played then account abandonned but doesn't really count as a active player leaving the game after many month or years of gameplay.
Sure this list doesn't tell us how many active accounts we have per level but at least we have a gap between level 5 and 6 with a factor near to 3 between the 2 level2.
Does it means that most players leaves after level 5 ?
Does this have to be really counted as a leave after only 5 level ? |
| If you'd have statistics of blocked accounts... |
Hello,
I've just used http://www.guildofheroes.ru/lords.php
There's not much reporting options
Sure it would have more sense if we could filter on accounts where last connection date was something like 6 month ago.
This would give only active or recently abandonned accounts. |
after lvl 5 the exp gap become huge and leveling process become slow
this is a very bad sign for players who only want something "new" and "update" but does not want to experience and enjoy the game itself (sadly most new players doesnt know why this game is good) |
we have a gap between level 5 and 6 with a factor near to 3 between the 2 level
At level 5 you need items to fight. Many players can't afford this and leave. |
I would correct that.
They should be able to afford that if all players would respect the AP in game description.
Sure if game says min AP and some join full arts not everybody can play full arts.
Why not creating a min AP clan in this case and limit games to members of the clan and exclude cheater if any cheat.
If you think that at level 5 players can't even pay a few po for a wooden sword and amu/sword/armu sure i don't ahve solution for that. |
| Complicated solution using game mechanics that most at level 5 do not know. Can't see that working out well, imho. |
maybe they don't know but idea/clan could be made well known and info shared in different game sections as post it so post or info would always be on the top and every new players could see the info quickly.
Just an idea |
we have more level 5 player than level 4 player ?
there should be something. |
Yes seems to have a bottle neck here between 5 & 6 but not sure we can say this is due to AP requirement.
Could be due to average time a player plays a game before being bored (by rules, by others, and so on).
In the above "an so on" I would just exclude the lack of update because I would not understand that after just playing a few month and reach level 5 a player would leave just because there's nothing new.
He already has 10 "new" higher levels to complete, probably has not done more than a few factions and still doesn't have to face any other player having TI since this can start at 6 only so can't mourn the "TI is too expensive" song. |
| wow ... too many level 1 accounts ... Most of them made for fun I suppose ... |
| Nice statistics BTW, very interesting, thanks for the post El-Sheighul :) |
| el-sheighul why they seem to quit by lvl5 it is only becose by then they get reported on forum from cheating and gets blocked:D |
for naapa92:
That's the same conclusion I came for lvl 3 as well. There are large numbers of players blocked at lvl 3 and 5. The spike in number of accounts at these 2 levels could be because multis tend to stick around those levels and also once they are blocked they remain at that level forever. That's why there are so few lvl 4 and 6. :) |

we loose one of the top players =( |
for El-Sheighul:
I think you misunderstood post #5 in your post #6... Arghmage was talking about fighting in general (not only duels and group battles, but also hunts and mercenary quests..)
because fighting is "free" up untill level 4, many players may not be aware of the importance of enrolling and building up the LG...
I agree that a min AP set is affordable for a level 5 player, no matter how low their LG is, but the plain fact that from level 5 onwards fighting is not free anymore could be a turn down for players... |
Hello,
I understood the question but we can't do much on the rules in general.
If admins decided to reduce income from enrollments, apply work alcoholic penalties, apply a min AP requirement for all battles and so on then I personnaly won't complain about this.
Not to say I agree or disagree but I addapt to the game rules.
I think there are still too many complains to add my contribution to the list (and in addition I think the game is well balanced at least for my way to play it).
To me the only thing we could do for new players is to have tutorials.
I think we already have several on the forum sections and some extrenal ones thanks to a few active players.
The only thing that is missing is a "min AP" clan or "fair fighting clan" whatever you call it.
If an admin is missing then I could do it and proceed to member exclusion or for 1st time assign a blame to him in case he prooves guilty of unfair playing but I absolutly can't pay all myself to create a new clan.
Far too expensive.
Last but not the least I create a separate thread for min AP clan:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1900166
If you want to express your feeling regarding this idea, either yes we should or no it should not help then vote ;-) |
| A very simple thing would be to warn players of the min ap requirements at level 5. I plowed through fights like a maniac til level five, where the requirement was like a bucket of cold water in my face. And i don't mean help topics in the forums or anything like that at all. Far too few people look in the forum. I mean an actual, in-game warning/explanation. The first tutorial only urges you to get to level 3 as fast as possible (Gives you a "goal", withough any actual rewards), and that's it. There should be a better tutorial... perhaps an introductory quest, with a little backstory for the class you chose? |
| these numbers are all wrong, right now, i can count 7 level seven players when the list says there are only 4 |
Actually, the list says there are four thousand, one hundred and seventy players on level 7. I think your confusion comes from the dot 4.170 - this is used instead of the comma 4,170 in some countries.
I just checked again right now, there are 4,185 (or 4.185) level 7 players. |
