Hello dear fattiez,
another year passed by and since I already missed it last year, I would like to show you some server stats.
Below you can see the activity stats for the V3 zombie server in 2021 and 2022.
I dont want to spend too much words on it or try to reason how holidays, christmas etc affect the activity. But I should at least explain a few things so that everyone can really understand what is shown here and how to interpret it:
First of all you will see a clear gap in March 2021. Maybe some of you remember that the server warehouse (which was hosting the V3 server) burned down at that time and as consequence the server was also down for some time until an old backup was restored with outdated settings. So it took a bit longer until the stats were also gathered again.
Collecting those stats that you can see here started around October/November 2021. So when we are talking about "New Players" down below, then we refer to players that joined the server for the first time after November 2021. So some players might be counted as new players even when they were on the server years ago but stopped visiting the server for a longer time.
So let's just go through the individual information:
Total Players: Simply the total amount of different steam accounts that connected to the server at least once in the corresponding year.
New Players: As mentioned above it specifies how many players have been seen for the first time. Combining the few numbers, one can already tell that almost 14000 users that played on the server in 2021, were still playing in 2022.
Most Active/Inactive Players: Here you can just see the players with the most (in)active players and how much time they spend on the server. Inactivity just specified how much time someone spend as spectator, while Activity refers to the time that players were not just on the server but also assigned to a team.
Connected Player Heatmap: The darker it gets, the more players were connected in that time frame. So the dark red area shows that the highest activity is usually between 15 and 21 (UTC).
Activity: Well, it's just the amount of players on the server in average. So with 64 slots on the server, 64 would also be the highest activity value shown. But for that the server would need to have 64 players all the time. And if I remember correctly the spectators are not included here. I dont remember when auto-kicking of spectators got enabled but I assume this is also a reason why the average activity in 2022 was higher than in 2021.
So enough words, here the visual part!
