Where Have All The Do Gone? Options

Bollocks, we're not missing!

We're right where we need to be, and all of that.

Total since 1/18/11: -33
Total since 12/1/10: +24
Total since 4/1/11: -1

Merchant and Do are definitely the big losers this time, however Merchant has been leading the pack for last two recording periods. Shaman numbers are very low, only the massive Do drop that really saved them from being last. Overall, the Warrior paths are the ones with the greatest loses but that should be expected as the NPC alternative is the most viable.

All that being said -1 isn't a bad number. People switch paths or give up on them on a regular basis so does this suggest a general stability in the Nexus population or have we gone as low as the numbers are going to go?

17% loss of population is "missing" enough =P

Not sure why I did this, but Subpath population is fairly steady. Poets had a big change for once and mages held pretty even. In general, the mage subpaths are all fairly low but Do is the lowest by a good margin.

What does all this mean?

Basically nothing haha.

Time for this again, I guess.

I really miss the days when I first started playing

This was a project I was working on a while back, but it seems relevant to this thread. The actual graph wasn't designed to hold all of the rows, but it can still be read. There are 4 charts, "Added" "Removed" "Registered" "Unregistered" (if there are missing gaps, clicking should make the chart show up).

Looking at any subpath list is frightening ... For example Shaman: 51/148 Registered and of that 51, only 30 actives (green). Most concerning is 5 guides and 2 unregged, 1 of which is a yellow.

Funniest part, you can log on today and the subpaths basically haven't changed at all since the day they were founded over a decade ago. No evolution no change. I'd say when we look back, the decline of Nexus has as much to do with the failed leadership of certain players as anyone on the GM side.
