The ===T=U=R=B=O+=== Phenomena

[CountryHam]

You may have visited TURBO+ recently since its activation.

If so, you may be interested to know this server has been INSANELY popular.

Let me show You what I mean, consider these screen caps of the server statistics.


Feb 19 2009

As you can see, in the past 5days 17hours, this server has hosted 6696 players.

Of those, 3467 players are first time visitors.

Lets put this into perspective.

How many players hosted per Day = 1175
How many players hosted per Hour = 49

Note that this is only a 24 man server, but nevertheless it is constantly filled with players.

This data was collected well after FEAR 2 was released....Is FEAR 1 no longer popular?

Here's another capture.

This week I bumped up TURBO+ to 30 players max.

It now appears we are serving a new player every minute.  Yes about 66% of them are repeat players, with the other 33% being new visitors.

I will be posting more statistics as they are available - I've never seen anything like this!

TURBO+ TDM now runs on its own machine, with CPU usage % levels averaging in the low 90's.  This box has a PSU fan that is variable speed according to CPU load, and it used to run quiet.  Now its constantly screaming in between map changes.  I know when maps end now, because the fan spins down, as the CPU load drops to about 10% between maps.

Today for a brief 5 minutes, the internet connection was reset at around 12:10PM AZ time.

At the time, I was in game with about 12 other players.

Apologies to those playing, I have no control over the upstream ISP and the reset issue.

In the future, keep in mind that the server will resume in about 5 minutes time.  If you want to stay in game, with your current score, just take a break - grab a bite to eat - visit the restroom - and the game should resume as normal when you get back.

Here's some captures from March 2009.


March 05, 2009

Grabbin my calculator, thats 6 days and 4 hours or 148 hours, or 8,880 minutes.

So basically, 7340/8880 = 0.8266 players per minute served.

Of those, 3300/7340 = 0.45 or 45% were new players....wooohooo!


March 16, 2009

Looking at Mid-March numbers, 9425/(7x24x60) = 0.94 players per minute!

Of those, 3617/9425 = 38.4% were new players!

This server is becoming more popular, and more players are returning!

Sorry for posting in this old topic but i was wondering what the latest figures were
Obviously it would have declined but still  :th_yum:

Actually, since TURBO2 has dropped its max player count now, we have held steady on our statistics.



I expect we may even be going up slightly at TDM.

Here is today's numbers right before I restarted.



Not too shabby!

Oh wow that surprised me, i grabbed ur calculator and the numbers have improved greatly
Is ur server on steroids?
Or is it mind control? :th_43:

[CountryHam]

Like I said above, when TURBO2 goes down, the players flock to the nearest TURBO!

Here is today's numbers right before I restarted.



It appears the player count is recovering well!

That´s great news!  and nice to know TURBO keeps kicking ass even though almost 1K players have been banned for severe hacking! That´s a big community of loyal, for sure most clean contenders!
