players created in the realm overall? or just how many are active?

I hope that ngd really have good idea how to count users in realms, and they will consider that that number change over a day.

yea and not to happen like with fatigue: every changelog they fixed it and every update users still have reset fail... and few other things that really can spoil game fun, which is source of question "why to play game"->"to have some fun"

the system is not using daily stats but taking data for the past 2 weeks. Also we are using active accounts not just accounts that have been created... and we are able to measure by level...

we hope that this will work.

I think it should be rather character (instead of account), lv, and online time based. For example just multiply for each char the time this char is online with a certain multiplicator for the character lv and sum this up over all chars in a realm for two weeks and compare the number every two weeks. Like this, multi-accounting (which is very common although officially prohibited) would not lead to wrong numbers: Players can be active on multiple accounts but the online time stays the same. Apart from that, if somebody has a lv 50 and a low lv char, grinding the low lv char would count less than playing at war with the lv 50 one, which seems to be fair since that player can't affect wz so much with his low lv char.

I trust the statistics are calculated correctly, taking into consideration the fact that you can have, from the same account, a character on Ra/Ignis and one on Horus/Alsius (for example) but the bonuses need to be different for Ra and Horus?
