Nice, this is pretty cool.

Also, for when you click on a server and it shows the graph of the number of players vs the map played, perhaps instead of a line graph you could convert it to a pie chart like how it's done in GameTracker? Other than than, great work as usual.

Re: SiMPLE is dying quickly now

I ran a graph on mosquitoes and trains and everything points towards one thing: things change.

It is obvious that we have lost friends from Russia and Ukraine.

shhhh tuia :-) .... don’t give them clues ....

..... they should be able to figure it out on their own


Hint :   

The main reason for Simple's decline in population has got nothing to do with hit registrations, latencies, server quality.

So far, I’ve only seen me and the the Simple server founder come up with the correct answer - long time ago - but now even an average child should be able to guess it.

There are many reasons explaining the decline in SiMPLE's server population. The war in Ukraine is one, but it isn't the only one.

The graphs you presented only show that when there is a decline in one of the big three servers, other servers see an increase in their average player numbers. In other words, a hole is dug to fill another hole.

This is clearly seen when aX starts its steep decline around February 2021. What happens next? Well, most players, looking for an alternative server in Europe, migrate to SiMPLE. A few might have migrated to Moongamers also.

When the SiMPLE average player number starts to drop in February 2022, you can see that Moongamer's average player numbers starts to increase as well. This means that yes due to the war some players disappeared (we hope they are OK), but some of them also migrated to Moongamers during that time. This is corroborated by the account of many players on SiMPLE and players from Europe I see in Moongamers, fed up with the mods and wanting to try a new server.

Also I've already said, you need to clean up your data to remove artificial player drops caused by map changes on a server. Some of the data points in your graphs might be wrong because of it.

tldr: To be able to truly say that players have left the game due to the conflict alone, you would have to look at a chart showing global player numbers vs time (henk's graph). If the same trend is observed, then yes you could say that the war was the cause of that player drop since February 2022. Otherwise you are just showing us charts of players migrating from one server to the other.

Re: SiMPLE is dying quickly now

There are different reasons for the overall player population declining, like summertime or maybe even the war in Ukraine, but what is the reason for regular Simple players moving over to Moongamers? Even on high ping they prefer to play there

Re: SiMPLE is dying quickly now

Hardly, most of them don't care about me or even know i'm there, I play in Moongamers too. My point is that there is something different in Moon, that makes it more appealing. For me it's the consistency in game play, everything works like it's supposed to, no weird stuff happening, the game is mostly balanced, no domination from one side and then the other

Re: SiMPLE is dying quickly now

That is great, you have more populated servers to choose from and you may find your solace there. Yesterday, it was the dreadful Berlin map that made players disconnect, just because of you nerdy infs.

Re: SiMPLE is dying quickly now

There have always been good infs playing Berlin, the map used to bring in people. Don't you think the reason would rather be skewed hit regs/spongy game play? There are plenty of players saying that. Sometimes I find it hard to have fun there myself

Well, maybe there will be a rule enforced upon you two. You can only play as sniper or as anti-tanker, just like jazzy does.

I'd rather take the ban, thank you. Maybe if I was a pothead, i'd enjoy playing games without trying to win

as if BF42 is hard to figure out, it's a simple game and it's not hard to move your mouse and press keys accordingly. I saw your definition of fun, sitting in some house and writing "so, can't you aim anymore?", thinking about us playing, while we think about our game
So, a ban to solve the population problem?

Yeah, i always strive for a better experience, a bit hypocritical from you, don't you think? i've also seen you write stuff about how to have little tricks to make your plane turn better or how plane hit regs are better on some settings, why don't you try to play normal like others? These are all just personal preferences, and everyone feel differently about these things. Silly argument

do you still not get it? you just have to adjust your mouse settings, then the resolution of the game and if you still have enough time, there are certainly small adjustments like the operating system and any internet settings. irony off smile

Jokes aside, if I need all of that to have fun in  this bugged game is a bit questionable, isn't it? if he then feels so much better, let him be happy. he could explain his attitude, why not? I personally would find it interesting. Basically, I find the whole discussion here very exciting, sometimes I don't even want to know what other settings and patches are possible in bf1942 ...

Re: SiMPLE is dying quickly now

This is why you people are not having fun in this game, you're so hooked on finding this miracle setting, that supposedly makes you so much better. Me and simon have just shared some of our settings etc, that work for us, but by no means is that something that makes u super pro. I've seen most of your videos, movements trash, aim is trash, game sense is trash, what exactly are you hoping for? Some setting that will play the game for you? xD

I expected exactly such an answer from you and reflects exactly the way you are viewed critically by so many in this community. no matter how much you analyze my videos and live streams and feel good about it, I was already playing bf and you weren't even mentioned. sometimes I really feel sorry for you

Like banging your head against a brick wall... You clearly want answers, so i'm giving it to you, straight. I couldn't care less about ur bf42 achievements, i'm addressing the current situation. Sometimes the good old "Learn to play, noob" sentence is the only good reply. And i understand that talking about real things in these days makes people real emotional and they can't handle it, but it's inevitable
