Do you think one day, all mmos will be required to reveal player population?
I don't know all the reasons why mmos today don't reveal player population. I'm sure one reason is to hide falling population numbers.
Do you think it would help the industry as a whole if by LAW every mmo must publish
1) who is online NOW
2) who is online now from unique IPs
3) geographic breakdown of who is online now
4) how many registered accounts who logged in once in past month
5) in total how many registered accounts
why or why not?
One of the difficulties of login numbers is that mmos can fake them by creating "fake" online numbers (friends or dummy machines). So im not sure how to counter that either.
