Reverse Scan

Since the majority of time it seems is scanning 90s, could we get an option to scan from 1-90 instead?

Not sure if this has been posted before.

Do you mean, reversed order?

yes, i'll scan a high pop server and it takes 20-30 mins. If I could skip the 90s or at least do them last, it might be a nice option

but of little true value.
The whole idea of doing census runs is to get a snapshot of the whole realm population at the time of the scan.

The only reason to do it lowest to highest is to abandon the run when you get to the time consuming part of the population which means you wouldn't get a true picture of the realm.

If you were to abort the census run certain data isn't saved and uploads of the data won't trigger those updates on the website.

So the answer is NO I won't make that change.
