Server Statistics in WoW
Moderator: Dictators in Training
So honestly, what do you want to know? If Alliance players make up 68% or 68.8% of the population?
Taxx.. I don't think he wants to know anything. Any semi intelligent person would see and understand the value of statistics. Are they 100% accurate? Very rarely are they or can be, that's why stats are often accompanied by a margin of error calculation. So if he argues that stats are useless because they aren't 100% accurate then he is either missing some chromosomes or has nothing better to do but argue stupid things and look like a moron. Either way he's a moron.

Here's what Ugzugz wants:
(ps, i'm inventing numbers for the sake of this exercise)
There are a total of 700,000 Unique accounts in WoW
There are a total of 500,000 Unique Alliance Characters
There are a total of 200,000 Unique Horde Characters
Everyone else is saying :
At this moment in time there are 150,000 players active
At this moment in time there are 100,000 Alliance players
At this moment in time there are 50,000 Horde players
At the end of the day, what have we learned?
There's give or take twice as many Alliance as there is Horde overall, and at pretty much any instance in time, a subset of that remaining in the same proportions is online

Tikker either way, both those stats are available to a certain extent, and are statisticaly valid IMO. You can get a total count and a exact time count. So I don't think thats what he wants.
I think what he needs is someone to hack into Blizzard database and pull the info on every single char that has been created. Maybe then he would shut his face up.
Sadly though this info well never be available for the public thus the census is best that we got, and since its pulled from in game it is accurate to a certain extent.
Ug is clearly complaining about nothing

I dont know about your census, but my census counts everyone that is on, and then the next time counts all the new people that werent on the first census, and so on and so forth.
FOr Instance, Monday I do a census 1200 players are on. It takes down name guild, level, class, race
Tuesday there are 300 prople on, 200 were on the census from Monday, so it updates there information, and the other 100 are added.
And so on and so on

What were you doing then? Saying you don't have any chromosomes? Hate to hand it to you, but you have an X and a Y chromosome.
Then again, I don't know WTF chromosomes have to do with the census conversation anyway . . .

Menlaan your reading comprehension needs a little work.
Here, have a little help so you can catch up to the rest of us.
He has been insulting Ugzug's intelligence.
He spelled "chromosome" - "chomosome"
I made a joke that said I didn't have any "chomosomes" and Taxx the resident tough-guy wannabe said "roflz blah blah blah" etc.
Ruining a perfectly harmless joke by turning it into his little masturbatory flame.
Then you chimed in completely missing that joke, WAY over your fucking head.

Ug, I would love to attempt to insult you by comparing you to a race in the canine species, however I like dogs and wouldn’t want to insult them. I think comparing you to an inanimate object such as a rock… or maybe dirt would suit your IQ and ability to reason better. Grats on being a true master of retards. Luckily when you die you feel more at home when you decompose and become one with earth. Think about it, you = zero intelligence, dirt = zero intelligence.. Match made in heaven.
