Trouble is, knowing that a server is 'standard' (code 2) doesn't tell you much about the game experience. If a server can be 'standard' with 100-500 players, that is a different world than if the same code means 1000-3000 players online.
To settle this a little, I set up a monitoring program to alert me when a server changes its status as listed on SWTOR.com. When that happened, I would log onto the server and /who everyone within level brackets until I'd collected data on both the Republic and Empire sides. I did this just over 100 times.
From this, it looks like the cut-points for each server status are:
Light >> Standard: 500
Standard >> Heavy: 1500
Heavy >> Very Heavy: 2250-2500(?)
Very Heavy >> Full: 3000
There are a couple ways to use these cut-points to give context to the TorStatus numbers. For example, in April, servers were listed as 'light' 65% of the time. But players aren't evenly spread across the servers. While the highest population servers were 'light' under 30% of the time, the bottom 46 servers are listed as 'light' 90% of the time or more. This means the bottom 46 servers spend 90% of the time with less than 500 players on both sides (combined).
As a side note: the average server status figures for the last 3 months (and a bit of May) are:
February | March | April | May |
---|---|---|---|
1.49 | 1.38 | 1.29 | 1.19 |
Note: I'm doing some checks to examine whether those cut-points are stable over time, and do more to pin down the limits on the 'Very Heavy' status. That, combined with a few crazier statistical models, should help to put actual numbers to the server status figures.
Must have been a lot of work, but it's definitely good info to know. Thanks. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting in the work on this! It's interesting stuff! I RT'd on Twitter to show my support.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI got pointed to this from http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=449144 which was linked to a post in the SWTOR Reddit (just to let you know who was using/noticing your work).
I just have a question on the methodology. When you say you /who in level brackets, where did you do that? Do you do that on the fleet? Every planet? And did you also take into consideration instances? I know my server sometimes instances the fleet.
You can /who by level. For example, typing "11-20" in the search window returns those players who are levels 11-20. If that returned more than 100 players, I'd break down the range. On Fatman, that meant checking 11-13,14-15,...,19-20. This works regardless of where they are, and whether that location is in a separate instance.
DeleteForgot to mention: sometimes the server returns bad data, which means re-typing the query, or waiting until it chills out. Sometimes I'd type 1-10 and it'd give me random players. Still unsure why that happens.
DeleteI do accept as true with all of the ideas
ReplyDeleteyou have presented in your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work.
Nonetheless, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time?
Thanks for the post.
