Reach's population over time: the stats (charts included)

Two weeks ago I thought it would be interesting to record the 24-hour population of Halo Reach once a day, so that I could eventually chart it to see trends over time and to see how other events like game releases, game updates, weekends and holidays affect population numbers. Now that some time has passed, I've decided to post the population data for everyone to see. This data is recorded automatically every night at midnight PST. As of the time of this writing, there's population data for 18 days. Here it is.

If you want to follow this project, you may want to check out its homepage [url=http://www.metahalo.com/population/]here[/url] (or [url=http://www.metahalo.64digits.com/population/]here[/url] if that link isn't working.) There you can also view the same charts, but for Halo 3. And before anyone asks, I do plan on creating more charts to show the data in different ways. Weekdays versus weekends would be one simple example. I'll update this post each night, since I can't do it automatically. [Edited on 12.04.2010 12:51 AM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Coux73 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] krekc So is this no longer updated?[/quote] Last [url=http://www.metahalo.com/population/]update[/url] was at the end of January.[/quote] Due to a server switch there's a period in December where data was not recorded. Unfortunately I didn't think to manually record the data during that time. I'll update the main post with up-to-date numbers soon. [Edited on 02.17.2011 1:38 AM PST]
