Ere's Yearly Stats and Analysis, 2010
This year's stats:
But the stats are fairly meaningless without baselines.
Last year's stats:
And the year before, which represents about 4 years of on-and-off playing:
As with last year's entry, I am going to do some math to compare yearly averages to see what is going up and what is going down. However, unlike previously, I quit for exactly seven months (left: last day of Sept; returned: first day of May) and so these stats only represent 5 months of playtime. So I am going to divide all my stats for this year by 5/12ths, which roughly doubles them, to gain corrected values that would project what they "should" be for an entire year. Confused? Just keep reading.
(the engineer in me is forced to point out that actually compensating for a break introduces a number of minor factors such as breaks taken previously not being accounted for and any possible increase of playtime in different parts of the year. I react to this in three ways: 1) I can't remember any other breaks so I can't subtract them 2) I'm pretty sure these factors are pretty small and, most importantly, 3) who really gives a crap? I'm just doing this for kicks)
Chat frequency
First 4 years, average: 110693 yearly, 303 daily
Previous year: 57271 yearly, 157 daily
This year, raw: 20485 yearly, 56 daily
This year, corrected: 49164 yearly, 135 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 52%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 49%
Chat frequency continues to drop. Though I haven't reinstalled ventrillo yet since coming back, I do remember doing far more chatting on vent than I was in game. I'm not sure if I'm going to go that route again though as it did tend to strongly exclude anyone not on ventrillo and there are lots of people i like in game that just don't use it.
Conversation with NPCs
First 4 years, average: 16857 yearly, 46 daily
Previous year: 19974 yearly, 55 daily
This year, raw: 6358 yearly, 17 daily
This year, corrected: 15259 yearly, 41 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 120%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 87%
A lot closer to the average than last year on this one. I do wonder why I talk to so many NPCs though. The moogle for job changing probably counts.
Parties Joined
First 4 years, average: 966 yearly, 2.6 daily
Previous year: 953 yearly, 2.6 daily
This year, raw: 342 yearly, 0.9 daily
This year, corrected: 821 yearly, 2.2 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 99%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 85%
Down, mysteriously. I can't think of any reasonable explanation for why this might be. Maybe I'm getting lazier.
Alliances Joined
First 4 years, average: 273 yearly, 0.75 daily
Previous year: 349 yearly, 0.96 daily
This year, raw: 140 yearly, 0.38 daily
This year, corrected: 336 yearly, 0.92 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 128%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 117%
This is still up, even with average being higher because of last year. It seems that I my trend of joining less parties and more alliances is continuing. Endgame happens.
Battles Fought
First 4 years, average: 14319 yearly, 39 daily
Previous year: 28551 yearly, 78 daily
This year, raw: 7698 yearly, 21 daily
This year, corrected: 18475 yearly, 51 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 199%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 107%
A lot closer to the average than last year, that's for darn sure. May of last year was around the time when my salvage and nyzul groups began to fail so I was killing a lot less enemies after that. Still, the average is way high with that 199% year in there, so even being above 100% for this year proves I'm still doing a lot more fighting than I was previously.
Number of Times KO'd
First 4 years, average: 405 yearly, 1.1 daily
Previous year: 549 yearly, 1.5 daily
This year, raw: 166 yearly, 0.5 daily
This year, corrected: 390 yearly, 1.1 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 136%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 92%
KO's down is incredible, considering that average is loaded with years of playing low risk jobs like WHM and BRD. Maybe I'm less of an idiot on BLM and WAR this year than I was last year.
Enemies Defeated
First 4 years, average: 4824 yearly, 13.2 daily
Previous year: 10340 yearly, 28.3 daily
This year, raw: 3137 yearly, 8.6 daily
This year, corrected: 7529 yearly, 20.6 daily
Previous year compared to average of previous four years: 214%
This year compared to average of all five years, corrected: 127%
Much like battles fought, the huge spike last year really upped the average, so being so much higher than 100% this year is pretty nice. But then again I've been doing a lot of BLMing and BLUing and WARing and those blasted Magian weapons, so it's to be expected.
GM Calls Made
Can't be bothered to call GMs
Six years of the better parts of my life down the drain. Still, I do see growth in myself, both in and out of the game. I remember writing last year's entry at a friend's house while waiting for them to come home from work. To think of all the things I did this year that I hadn't done before, well, let's just say that it makes that seven month gap in the records seem completely justified.
