Some statistics

It is kind of funny for me that you publish this now, because just today, right before releasing Brawl News, I updated my own spreadsheet with statistics (New players per month).

Of course you are right, looking at the income of new players Brawl is not doing good. However, you also need to keep in mind that this only records players logging on who have never joined Brawl before - it does not say anything about how many players are active (Before you say it, yes, I'm well aware the average player count is also not to great - just explaining the statistics).

We already follow some points of Putty's plan: We are focussing on getting the promised and planned servers out for example.
We also plan to use every possible way of advertisement when releasing the new gamemodes - YouTube, Twitter, E-Mail, Minecraft Websites - but for actual advertisement as in paying a youtuber or putting ads on AdSense we (currently) do not have enough money.

In conclusion: You are absolutely correct, Brawl is not doing too good and you can see that from the statistics (this was pointed out several times during the last months already). We as the staff team are aware of the fact and are trying to fix it.

 

Only the public statistics you can see in all Brawl News editions.

 

oh.... i dont know how to respond

 

It's sort of expected that the longer a servers around the less 'new players' there are that can join, new players aren't an endless supply, however that's a steep decline from January

 

Attached a graph of the number of new players increase month over month.
January: Total players: 3,197,624 (68,577 increase)
February: Total players: 3,247,265 (49,641 increase)
March: Total players: 3,285,077 (37,812 increase)
April: Total players: 3,323,515 (38,438 increase)
May: Total players: 3,346,592 (23,077 increase)
June: Total players: 3,374,565 (27,973 increase)
July: Total players: 3,374,565 (31,545 increase)
August: Total players: 3,440,102 (65,537 increase)
September: Total players: 3,462,206 (22,104 increase)
October: Total players: 3,485,142 (22,936 increase)
November: Total players: 3,503,574 (18,432 increase) <------ We are here.

 

The numbers in the first quote are incorrect; might either have written them down incorrectly or the information in the Brawl News was calculated incorrectly.

 

If you want help creating monthly data points, dashboards, data analytics, and tying them to strategy hit me up.

Happy to help.

you think about it, 18k isn't that bad lol (~600 players or so every day)

if we have more appealing gamemodes to new players (ie. war 2.0) , it could actually lead to a more significant amount of players wanting to stay, thus player count going up again.

on a side note:

Code:

May: Total players: 3,346,592 (23,077 increase)
June: Total players: 3,374,565 (27,973 increase)
July: Total players: 3,374,565 (31,545 increase)
August: Total players: 3,440,102 (65,537 increase)
September: Total players: 3,462,206 (22,104 increase)

wtf did we do in august lmao

 

We should be using data monthly to:

1) Identify player trends

2) Analyze what we are doing right

3) and seek to understand what we could do better.

summer happend

 

elaborate june, july, and early september

 

I dunno but I know wildwest and CTF as well as war (the three game modes I play) were doing decent around that time. Also winter breaks on the other side of the world as well as summer breaks beginning in the USA? I dunno just ideas...

 

exams happen in may/june. I don't know exactly term times abroad but I do know the UK doesn't break up til mid july, and goes back early september. Would explain at least some of the counts massively jumping in August

 

The number is incorrect, if you look at June and July the total players are the same.

Just pointing out that a part of the statistics by AcpSoldier are wrong and thus your graph is as well.

 

Whats the correct figure?

 

I agree with @AcpSoldier that data tells a story.

This is not a blame game. The numbers are what they are.

Data can help us identify opportunities, gaps (weaknesses), and help us to develop analytics so we can craft a winning formula/strategy.
