Re: Regional Ranking Adjustment

I'll come up with a map when I get off from work tonight.

I'll get into details later today. But first, I need a shower.

EDIT: Not all the continents you see highlighted will be included.

Middle America:

Would you like me to call it Mexico?

Re: Regional Ranking Adjustment

I don't think it's a good idea to have Mexico as a region, because probably there aren't enough active players to fill it. But maybe something like, Mexico & Central America would be nice =/.

Exactly. I will look in to it.

Re: Regional Ranking Adjustment

Ugh, your final suggestion just gets worse and worse. You really need to put more thought and emphasis onto population and playerbase rather than geography.

Each "region" should have a fixed and as close to equal population as possible. If that means the US is 5 regions, and South America/Africa/Asia is all one big region, so be it.

The goal should be to have an equal amount of competition in each listed region, not to cram the list so full of regions that everyone can top 10.

There is no way in telling how many users are in each state/region/country.

Re: Regional Ranking Adjustment

But you can tell of the competitiveness of the regions by looking at the regional's top 10.

I mean, look at africa, there is a guy with 10,000+ avg. rank, and he is there! ... And places like Canada and the U.S are obviously more competitive so there must be more regions.

EDIT: 8,000+ now xD.

Re: Regional Ranking Adjustment

There are people in Africa that shouldn't be in Africa and should be in United States or Canada or Asia.

Yeah, if only the staff had some means of seeing from which country their players most often access...oh wait...that's actually incredibly easy to do. If my MUD from circa 1990 had the technology to simply cull lists of activity by country via IP, surely it can't be that difficult.

But you know what else would work? Perhaps -counting- the number of people in each existing region...

More than half of the users that say they live in Africa, Asia, or Australia actually live some place else.

Re: Regional Ranking Adjustment

Well, you're the one wanting to make regions even smaller, and thus even more easily abused by people moving into ones they don't belong in. Do you have a solution for this?
