I wonder if that counts alpha accounts too, because that would make 13 entirely believable even if "elite" was a fairly big category.

i was told it basically counted everyone that's played the last 3 months (which is what they consider active)

so the top 1% is like, the top 25% really

I can't imagine having the time to use 13 accounts, alpha or omega. I made 3 alpha accounts to train up some alt characters, and after a month I couldn't even be bothered to log in to change over the skills they are training.

actual player count then is low then yikes. didn't realize 13 was the average.

I mean, since 2006 I have had 11 alt accounts, and the most I had subbed at once was 6 and that was 2009.

Currently I have 4 active and subbed accounts, and one is about to go inactive (was only active so I could extract roughly 10 mill sp).

So it is all in how that “alt account” number is calculated. If you are just counting accounts linked to one person/email then the number is going to be way higher than if you count only currently active omegas.

Going back and forth between 8-15 accounts, I finally found the sweet spot at around 3-4.
Anything more than that seems like a hassle.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I don't know how they report but it might be something like q1 start PCU, q1 end PCU, or something that totally allows them to fudge numbers like this

Nothing went wrong, they are now safe and sound in their permanent residence! But whew do I ever clam up when I am moving around stuff like this. Once I've collected them all I can build my own Nyx rather than buying them off the dumb market.
