Thank you Rollie!

Urghs... EU has 14 zeros... and it seems the US took an even bigger hit... at least 17 zeros, probably more as the horde side has gone all "blank"... Seems the censuses I did "blind", did have at least minimal impact, as some of them are now 1s and 2s instead of 0s. Even so, lot to do before the lists look nicer again. :/
Looks like you've fixed all the 0's already, nice work! I started on the German ones but only got through Horde when I saw everything was already 1+ :P

?h, thanks, I guess... but still... there are already new 0s on both EU and US lists...

And it is pretty sad that some realms seem to get about 12 updates a year... :( That is, they only get attention when they drop to 0. :(

Agreed, there's a few realms where I can tell I'm the only one looking after them, since they always float around 2-3 censuses per month, more if I'm more active, less if I'm less active... ideally I want to delete characters on realms that have got up to a decent number of censuses, but some of my characters are 4 years old plus and just never been able to delete them.

Even my home server, which is fairly high pop, I'm the only one censusing it - alliance side went to zero at one point when I hadn't logged on my alts over there for a bit :? pity census isn't better known, but seems like the only publicity it gets is people saying how inaccurate it is, *sigh*.

I try to swat the 0s the best I can, but on some days they appear at times, when I can not get to them quickly... :( And if there are any problems of any sort, my efforts can go to waste... I have already lost approximately 20000 updates in this month alone due to reasons out of my control... :(

With 295 EU servers (=590 scans needed just to cover everything once) and only a handful of highly active census users... It is a small wonder that the number of 0s is not much higher...

As for the bad publicity... You have seen me make occasional posts on the official forums... and I have already forgotten how many people I have told there or ingame: If you want better output, why not make more input and run censuses yourself?

Especially now that Blizzard lifted the PvP realm character creation restrictions... Purely theoretically one would need exactly 4 (yes, FOUR) people to keep the 11 Spanish realms permanently at high (green) accuracy. And just two could gain permanent medium (yellow) accuracy. Even one might manage that, provided (s)he could census a lot during off-peak hours.

How did I come up with those figures? Well, 11 servers equals 22 scans. Four people doing 22 scans a day would guarantee each Spanish faction about 120 scans per month.

Two (or one with lots of time) could easily manage about 60 scans per month per Spanish faction.

And yes, making 22 scans does take a while and I do realize that not everyone can or will put that much time in. Even so, just as minor example... I have already submitted the results of more than 60 censuses today (even though some of them registered for yesterday due to high time zone difference to WCR, I seem to be at WCR+8 hours) and more are running as I keep expanding this wall of text. :D
