A Snapshot Look at Players vs. NPMs: Started by: Pepper on Nov 01, '11 18:11

106 Members online in the last 60 seconds:

If you count the list, you'll find 106 names on the list.

HelpDesk and WebSpider are included on that list.

HelpDesk is a generic admin account that no one actually accesses, but it's just a name people can send mail to so the assistants can read and provide help.

WebSpider is a bot.

Not counting HelpDesk and Webspider, there were 104 other names on that list. Of those 104 names remaining, 45 are NPMs.

43% of the players online at that moment were NPMs. Forty-three percent.

Does that seem like a high 'fake account' number to anyone other than me?

Report Post Tip

There are 118 NPMs in the game, and 702 users, for a total of 820 accounts.

The NPMs dont sleep, only work, so therfor there is no down time for them. They make up 14.4% of the population, but since they are online every few minutes throughout the day, they will always be misrepresented in the 60 second list when compared to the normal user, who is offline 21.5 hours a day.

Report Post Tip

Can they be included in the 60 seconds list, but not included in the count of online members? Could we keep the list the same, but at the top have "XX people online in the past 60 seconds." to give a more accurate representation of how many PLAYERS are online?

Report Post Tip

It's already getting included into M2, but we just can't dedicate the resources to making the change on M1 considering that every hour we spend on this version, pushes back M2 even further.

Report Post Tip

Why don't you simply color the NPM names like crewleaders and staff members?

Report Post Tip

My vote is to make them pink.

And sparkle-y.

The NPMs will be be able to be toggled on/off and be visually different on the 60 second list for M2.

Squishy is M2 out yet?

Guessing not T-Man.. Since we're still using M1 interface and there's been no announcement of M2 being released...

Report Post Tip

T-Man, m2 is currently a work in progress, and can be used at m2.mafiareturns.com (it is still being worked on, so there are bugs, visual issues and some other cosmetic things that cause issues at this time)

Report Post Tip

In answer to the opening post, No it doesnt bother me in the slightest.

I don't frequently spend mins opening pages for every person on the 60 second list to check whether they are a npm or a player..

Report Post Tip

Well, I guess I should consider myself 'burned', eh Po?

Except I didn't ask if it bothered you. Nor do I care.

I asked if it seemed like a high number, and Squishy came out and explained why the numbers come out like they do.

Thanks for trying though. Next time you try to insult someone, try reading first. ;)

beard is an NPM

No, beard is a fucking legend, and the son of the great Bearderus. 

Let's get our facts straight.

If I was you, I would show more respect to a Demigod.
