What if you...

What if you added all the UU that exist on the main server from all active and inactive players?

What if you added all military units, miners/lifers and UU from all active and inactive players?

What sort of numbers do you think we would be looking at? And suppose there were one or more similar but alternate servers with which this one was able to trade all of it with, how much value (in naq) according to todays market would be looking at?

Curious, and perhaps a little bored.

Umm... a lot?
70k accounts.
what do you think the average size would be? 40?50m?

Mind boggling, yes. I am unsure I have the ability to get my head around this mathematic problem, let alone the patience or time. :-)

Was that a random figure Renegadze? :)

yeah :razz: I'm not that sad that i'd go away and count all 70k accounts (despite what some people might think lol)

Although Admin should be able to run a fairly simple query to find it out :-D

Well, in that case your guess is as good as anyone elses right now! :smt023

You couldn't expect anyone to actually count them though, but someone with a decent grasp of mathematics could work out some sort of estimated average. Perhaps admin could tell us the answer?

You must have edited your post between me clicking reply and submit. ;)

I think the database behind the game is SQL - a basic query would answer your question :smt047

Perhaps he went for the 24th ascension and there were some SQL errors he failed to realise resulting in him now being stuck somewhere unexplainable and unimaginable?

Though, I have no reason to care. He doesn't like me anyway.

So, how many UU's? :smt023

the problem lies with finding the average army size, 50mill is definitely too much. I would say 2 mill is closer to the average. But who knows.

Suppose you could work with the round about number of active users. The game is currently displaying 275 as online, but it gets much higher than that, and time zones also have to be considered. I'd probably hazard a guess at about 900 active. Average army size amongst those?
