It's amazing to me that we have over 160,000 members who have never once posted on the forums. That's a crapton of people who are missing out on a pretty solid user community.

Either that, or it's a whole lotta bots.

What I want to know is if they really did sell 9,200 legendary packs how the heck are they going to fit that in the credits?

I mean at that point personal recognition kind of goes out the window haha.

They will use some microfont and fit all 9200 names in the space of this .

Thank you, Hawkeye. Nice numbers. We're up to 56 now, by the way, though that may be back to 55 soon.

That's a lot of lurkers.

Just to be a statistics nerd. According to the "A Short FAQ" thread by Faenwulf, 10,000 individuals are in Closed Beta Testing phase 1. So if there are ~16009 founders members, and you make a safe assumption that about 1000 of those testers are either devs, paid testers, or somehow assoicated with the project ( might be a high estimate), that means that 9,000 of those 16k founders already have beta access. This would mean there is about 7k individuals that are founders without Beta access. So an updated number:

500 invites: 7.14%
1000 invites: 14.28%
1500 invites: 21.42%
2000 invites: 28.57%
2500 invites: 35.71%

So if you are a founder that is pending you could possibly have a 1/3 chance at getting into Beta Phase 2 with the next beta invites.

Actually not, since founders couldn't have priority getting into closed beta until after there were founders. Closed beta started way before founders program.

Given how I run when I'm a 70-80% favorite in a poker hand, I'd say I need a 130-140% chance of getting an invite just to have a 35% chance. One time!

Libreoffice is the better port. They should go with that at your university.

Yay more statistics! I love Statistics!

Thanks a lot for this man!

That was a very interesting bit of info! Thanks for going to the effort of collecting all that data!

Nice numbers, thanks for putting them into text form this time. I can't see the pictures from work and whenever I am at home and remember to check the other thread, I can never find it..

Interesting about the Veteran packages.. only 745 compared to the 5k and 9k amounts of the other packs. Altogether that's just under 1.5 million in pre-sales.. not bad really and will certainly help the company pay for setup costs, which must be enormous for the amount of server clusters they would need for the amount of players they are expecting to have online, as well as pay staff and still haev lots of cash sitting in the bank as capital for future development etc.

Ok. Fair enough. But how many of those individuals did end up buying Founders packages? It was pure speculation to begin with anyways.
