[Icarus]

I remember so many of those names, and miss so many of them! So many good players. But damn y'all had no lives.

[Tepes]

I recognize all of the top 10 except Dave.

Who the hell was Dave?

[Hawkwind]

God damn. Considering the time they played, I am shocked at how little some of them could be found.

[Icarus]

I too want to know who the devil dave is.

[Grommit]

aka Daven apparently:

a dreadlocked, brown-skinned man

Not gonna say account name.

[ThinkTwice]

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in awhile. Daven was oldschool SoI, back in the days of the Lantern and such, if I remember right.

I remember him being military; I can't remember if he was Watch or Garrison, though ... I just remember us disliking eachother with a truly hate-filled passion.

[Hawkwind]

Would this fall under some form of addiction for us?

[Tepes]

I think so, Hawkwind. I think so.

Pretty sure my highest playtime was 100 or so days.

[Frigga]

Man, I made top 20, lol.

[Celairel]

Damn it I missed being on this list by 12 days. BS!

[cfelch]

Man, I made top 20, lol.

Me too

Haha.... There's ol' Dugha at 44th with 139 days ... jeeze... And I didn't make it into the top sixty with any of my guys ... I guess I died too often.

[Letters]

Good grief. 351 days? Go go undergrad time.

Looking at Daven's - why didn't he just go by Dave? - clans, warsheep stands out. I remember the warsheep.

[Auroness]

(post removed)

My apologies for my post. I never meant to slight or vilify the dedication of people with long lived characters. I have removed my post so it will not upset others.

[Frigga]

I'm obviously biased, but I'm not sure vilifying dedication and slighting people who liked a particular PC or concept as afraid or pitiful is needed.

Many people will not interact with many PCs that have or will exist because of time zone issues, the good/evil split in the PB, or differing interests, but that doesn't detract from what things each PC can and does bring to the IG world, whether played for a day, a month, a year, or anything in between.

[Nimrod]

I'd like to see total playtime by ACCOUNT.

Excludes characters if their admin level is > 0, however some former staff avatars were set to level 0 when they retired, and thus would count towards their play time above without manual filtering. Some were left on the staff account (generally if they just disappeared), others transferred back to their player account (if they formally retired and kept playing).

Does not track when people changed accounts especially if a long-played PC was left on a player account and then another long-played one sits on their staff account. Without a DB of player-to-staff account names, no way to automatically combine these accounts to enhance the accuracy of the list for those who have two mehs instead of one high position above.

[Oblivion]

Haha... Lookie there... Number nine on that list. I'll take it.

[Brian]

It's cool seeing account names on there that I can't recall ever posting on the forums.

[Knight26]

Not sure if to be proud or upset I didn't make the list.

[Grommit]

They weren't quite as codedly linked, then. You could pick separate names for a forum account and your login account.

Remember Pot and Kettle?

[Grommit]

363rd. Enjoy having had a life.

The density graphs were the worst. The top people spend 30-40% PER WEEK EACH WEEK FOR THE PAST YEAR average online. Granted I'm sure some idling was involved, but dang.

[Tepes]

Holy crap. I was third?!

Not sure if I should be impressed with myself, or mortified.
