46578, PK Stat: unique visitors
Posted by The Heretic on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Would be an interesting stat to see, how many different people a player kills and is killed by along with the count. Some chars kill the same people over and over, unavoidable in cabal wars. But I think its a good thing when players go after a wider variety of foes. It gives a hint about the player's style.

46600, They already keep the data.

They just need to write a function to parse the pkill list from the PBF for unique names.

I think I proposed this at some point. The problem is that in order to determine uniqueness you need to record everyone anybody's killed (or been killed by).

46598, Lack of hard drive space?

As far as I know there is no lack of hard drive space in the world. Especially since the stat being discussed, at the bare minimum, would require 12 characters for each PK in a player file.

Staff tends to not like adding more data to the PFILE data structure, which is where I think it would need to live. They also store some stuff in a standard relational database, but I doubt it's practical to record PK stats that way.
Of course I've never actually seen the code, so I could be completely mistaken.
