Activity on each day of the week

Hi, I just started using this site and Census+ and I love it.

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if it's possible to produce a graph of activity vs. day of the week to see which days are busiest. Even better would be to combine it with time of day as hourly activity may be different between weekdays, weekends.

Also I noticed that the "daily activity" graph is of hours in the day, whereas the "weekly activity" is weeks in the year - which is inconsistent.

Thanks to the developers!!

Yeah, that's something I've thought about doing previously. The biggest problem you run into is the coverage of data. I'll take a look at it again and see what I can come up with.

Hello!

Some generic input (based on my personal experience and some WCR data, EU servers):

Mondays are practically always low, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday mornings sort of average, Wednesdays highly variable depending on whether it is a patch, regular maintenance or just rolling restart day.

Weekends (including Friday evenings) are busiest. Within days patterns on almost all EU servers are very similar... Activity peaks at 20 or 21, and hits rock bottom between 2 and 6.

As Rollie noted, one major problem would the coverage of data. Many realms do not even get one update per week! With current submission numbers only very few servers would have even remotely reliable data.
