Aggregate Statistics Update

I’ve found the problem.  Previously, it was calculating 48 hour totals on the increases, but it has been fixed, so during tonight’s update, the totals will be accurate and represent the 24 hour increases.

Thank you for your patience!

Daily Top Fighter & Player

It seems we’re still having some issues with the aggregate statistics, so these two items are most likely inaccurate at this time.  Hopefully it will be resolved soon, but in the meantime, the graphs for guilds and players are reporting accurate statistics as far as a daily increase or decrease.

Thanks again!

Database Update

This morning (US EDT) we migrated our database over to Amazon RDS and hopefully you did not experience any downtime.  Everything seems to be running smoothly now, and this change allows us to store more historical data, so there should not be any more purging of records for the graphs from this point forward.  We may have to purge older data if the performance of the database decreases, but we will address that issue as it occurs.

Thanks!

New countries added!

There is now data and statistics available for the following Forge of Empires servers:

Brazil
Czech Republic
Denmark
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Italy
Mexico
Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Spain
Sweden
Turkey
United Kingdom
United States

I will be working on the translations for the CZ, DK, GR, HU, PL, SK, SE, and TR sites, but if you can lend a hand it would be very much appreciated!

At this time we are only missing 6 servers for all of Forge of Empires, and we should have those soon as well.

Do you have guild members or friends you suspect are inactive?

Now, on the US servers, when you visit the overall, world, or guild player list, the players who have been inactive the last 24 hours will be displayed with the background of the row shaded red.

I plan to migrate the changes over to the other servers over the next day or so, and we should also be seeing accurate data in terms of increase or decrease in points, or increase of battles.

Soon, we will be able to display historical data using graphs and other things to enhance the player and guild profile pages.
