Every now and then the server decides to konk out, and today was just another one of those days. My apologies to people who were affected by the game's down time.
While everything was offline, I decided to check to see how much total time players have spent in the game. It's been ages since I last did that and I was curious.
Even though the game goes back to October of 2011, the records I have only go back to January 1, 2013. Records before that date were left on an older machine that I had before the current server. Another thing is that whenever the server shut down or crashed, this program would not add in any time played by players who were still online. Basically it only counts time when someone disconnects, so of course a sudden server shutdown would skip over an actual disconnect. With that being said, I have a very conservative total time played from January 1, 2013 until today (November 20, 2017).
When adding up how much time everyone has played, the total is 40 years, 5 months, 24 days, 1 hour, 43 minutes, and 47 seconds. Yikes!
