Techwright Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Does anyone know where from where MMO Populations pulls its estimate? Is it from Homecoming, or the sum of all public COH emulators? I'd never previously seen the website, and was surprised to find a COH listing. I was even more surprised to see it ranked as #39 of all MMOs tracked. https://mmo-population.com/r/Cityofheroes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraspingVileTerror Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 No ideas, sorry @Techwright. BUT! I do like the looks of this particular chart. @Cipher? @Jimmy? Can you let us know if this matches Homecoming's data? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KauaiJim Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hmmm…. Interesting tracking prior to 4/19. 1 Want to see my current list of characters? Want to know more about me than you ever wanted to know?

Apparition Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Considering that it shows steady growth in the 100,000+ range between 2015 and 2018, take any information from that site with a handful of very large grains of salt. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraspingVileTerror Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hmm. Thanks for the heads-up. Doing a little more digging does raise some questions about the website's legitimacy. Where did you get details as far back as 2015, @Apparition? I can only get it to go back as far as Q3 2016, where it seems to suggest that the peak in SCoRE was around 5,000 users. I have no idea how many people were actually on SCoRE, but the numbers are actually looking a bit suspect. Still, that one chart does seem to match what my memory suggests were major Homecoming patches. Let's take a closer look! April through June 2019 being when things started. October being Page 3 of I26 and @holymittens' arcs were released. January 2020 being Page 4. March 31st for Page 5. . . . the June/July peak doesn't really translate to anything I can think of in Homecoming specifically, but perhaps a "Summer break" surge, or maybe one of the other servers related something then? Hmm, and Issue 27 in November doesn't really map to the chart, actually . . . since that suggests it was a valley, and not a peak. And then February's peak makes no sense from what I can see . . . Yeah. Ok. Unless the other servers are bringing in greater numbers than what I've been told, this chart is actually quite a ways off from what I suspect the reality is.
