The graphs for player and faction activity over a 6 month period are not showing up. Just thought you would like to know, thanks.

thanks.. we will look into that
as you might not know those are just simple .png image files
and they are built in batch .. I expect the batch job was broken in the move.

The Graphs going offline are intentional, and mostly my fault. After some discussion, Metalbeast (or the paid staff) disabled:

The Class Activity aka Weekly Player activity graph is just too messy to be of any value.
These graphs may be reworked to provide better data display, but this task is down in the queue behind a large number of major site updates.

The Faction Activity aka Weekly Faction Activity graph may return in the near future.
Near being a very fuzzy term.
The data being presented is of potentially questionable accuracy.
You can get a more correct understanding of the relative faction activity using the remaining daily activity graph and its supporting chart.

I will add a note to the pages to indicate that the graphs are offline for now.

I got a lot of value off of the graphs. The main reason I checked is to find the trends of players over the long term. It has helped me and several of my friends chose servers based on the activity or lack thereof.

I'm sad to see it go.
