You have that backwards....less than 5% of the player base is on the forums, probably close to 1-2%.

I'm guessing you have absolutely no stats on that but are just making an uneducated guess?

Well, he might be close. There was a chart that showed around 7K players (If I remember right) and I don't see 7K forum members.

So it would be an EDUCATED guess.

What chart?  An official HTC chart about number of players?  (nope) 

In fact, there are 14,283 registered members now, so according to your data, 200% of those who play are registered for the forum.

Sorry, I'm sticking with uneducated.  :D

Maybe I've spent too much time questioning the validity of studies, but I tend to be very hesitant when people start throwing around stats.  Your 7k number probably comes from some of Lusche's work, looking at the highest scores of people at the end of each tour.  Though I trust his numbers, that doesn't mean you can assume that the highest score equals total number of players. 

...Stepping out of the ivory tower...

I agree many of the very to mildly active players on the forum tend to forget they are probably in the minority though.

Just to clarify: Lusche never made a chart about total AH player numbers or subscribers even. This chart was named "LW Arena Activity Index", and showed the number of player having made at least one kill or suffered at least oen death in that arena turing a tour.  :old:

No that was not how I did that. ;)

I have taken a casual look at the rank numbers for quick results it before, but to get more precise data I had to take a different approach by going through all plane/Gv data, and looking up the scores of all players I found that way.

Ah, well sorry for misrepresenting your work.  :D  I still stand by neither one of those being a great indication of number of paying customers, but I know you're not saying that they are.
