Thanks Bahamut :)

If any users in front or behind you have gained 260 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update.

I got 260, missed one or two deposits then. :(

Enjoy the update everyone!

Next Update: 7th February 2010

I WILL MISS NO DEPOSITS BY THIS UPDATE.

Also I'll be getting a Blackberry on the 7th, as that's when my current phone contract expires. Free internet minutes = much much more NGs = much much LESS missed deposits. :D

+8 is good, I'm closing in on the top 350. I now have some users in front of me who seem to be inactive, so here's me hoping I can climb even more than 8 ranks before the next update!

Thanks for the update, Bahamut. Very nice to see.

Thanks also to MasterDevil; IM-KOOL-R-U and God-of-Hockey for allowing yourselves to be Cooped. I know it looks like I've closed the gap to deckheadtottie, but I've got a feeling he will be depositing before the day is out :P

Maybe another three ranks gained for the February update and now the top 150 is looking nice and close to me :)

Thanks for the update, Bahamut.

I see some people with 280 and 290 EXP that means they somehow got more then 270 and i got 270 and i am sure i missed at least 1 deposit.

Well, it has to do with time. The time when Bahamut pulls the stats plus the time the users deposit.

So, if Bahamut pulls the stats before you deposit for that day, you have 10 Exp "less" on the update, you will "regain" those 10 on the next list. However, if you deposit BEFORE Bahamut pulls the stats the next time, you will have an "additional" 10 Exp on the update.

So that means, even though you do not miss any deposit, your total gain can fluctuate on the list.
This also means, even though you DID miss a deposit, it doesn't show instantly on the list.

Forgot to add:

This is why Bahamut writes "If any users in front or behind you have gained 260 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update."
If a user gained 260 or less it is definite that they missed a depoist. For all the other users, it's impossible to say if they did miss a deposit or not.

thanks for the update blue dragon...

it always makes me sad when i find out that i could be level 40 by now :(... so much more grinding to do...

at least i can spot a few 0 depositers infront of me... its when i start hitting the big numbers... thats when it becomes a real grind for any gain... :P

27 ranks gained. Twenty seven souls fall to the wheels of industrialised religion. Rejoice, for I am your saviour.

That's it!!!
Very Cool Charts
Ty.

Thanks, I always appreciate these lists. So close to 750 I'm sure I'll break through that by next update. Getting more and more difficult to gain every rank however.

Pfft, you think you've got it bad? I've been stuck at #155 for 2 weeks now and there's little sign of me moving to #154, let alone into the top 150.

It stands to reason though, the higher you climb, the less people to pass and the more chance that they will be depositing actively.

It's weird, I broke the top 150 a couple weeks before the new year. Took forever from 160. Now, only a month later than that I'm already pretty close to breaking the top 140. It's got me optimistic about top 100 by 2011. Which means I can probably count on my rightful spot in the top 50 by sometime late 2012.

It stands to reason though, the higher you climb, the less people to pass and the more chance that they will be depositing actively.

This is truth. When you're lower than 200 the difference in experience between you and your competitors is never more than 30-50 at most. But when you're in the top 100, there're gaps as large as 200 or more. So you have to deposit for a couple weeks straight to gain one rank's improvement.

Keeping up with the experience statistics is kinda bizarre to me. I remember when people like aviewaskewed were 5,000 experience points ahead of me and showed no signs of slowing. Now I'm several ranks higher than him on the list. altr was as high as top 30 at one point, now I'm starting to eye passing him long-term. The day I pass Shrapnel will be quite the occasion.

Nothing pisses me off more than gfoxclock, though. The gall of that guy, having a SPARE account that's higher ranked than I. >: (

Anyway, thanks for the update as usual, Bahamut.

You just need like 2 or 3 more deposits.

EXP Update #22 is now available!

We have several new changes here:

1 - From now on, rank milestones will be mentioned.

2 - We have a level demographics showing how many users are which level. Of course, that only counts those with at least 8,000 EXP so this will explain why there's a smaller amount of level 27 users than there should be.

3 - The main list now shows users' sign-up dates and deposit rate. Now that we have sign-up dates here, tied EXP users will be sorted by date instead of names so that makes the list more accurate than before. :)

4 - Anyone with a deposit rate of more than 99% have their numbers highlighted in red.

5 - The width of these updates is now 1024 px making the site wider. I'd expand it even further but there are still a fair amount of people who are stuck with 1024 x 768 or lower resolution monitors so we'll stick to 1024 for the time being.

Sadly, one feature didn't make the cut for the time being and that's the deposit rate change. This is far too complicated to work out for the time being. It may not sound hard to do but trust me, the spreadsheet was getting awkward with it.

If any users in front or behind you have gained 260 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update.

Enjoy the bigger and better update everyone!

Oh, this will be (most likely) the first time I pass Sabotage. Since he signed up before me the chance is he was always ranked higher in Exp than me. But those days are now over! :P
Unless he makes a sudden comeback, that is. ^^
Anyway, it's a long and slow climb towards the top 300...

I like the new features Bahamut. Also lol at me having a deposit rate of 99.01% and thus getting my number highlighted in red. I suppose I passed 99% recently then because I know I had 98.9X% for a very, very long time.

As for the rank-ups, I finally made my way into the top 300 which is nice. Also, it seems like I'm moving as a group now with shunshuu, madhatter, bobsyeruncle and RoobyKillAll. We're all moving equally fast with only 60 experience difference between the first and last, so that's kinda funny.

Thanks for this enlightening update Bahamut!

Thanks for the update, Bahamut.

The new layout is excellent, big improvements on previous layout, not that that was bad of course. But now its a true statwhores paradise. God bless stats.

331 gamejunkie 17,325 40 280 +3 66.38% 12/16/02

Not such a great 4 weeks for me this time around, only +3, but there is a lot of non-depositors ahead of me now so I should jump 11 or 12 spots next update. (Plus the B/Ping for the last 2 weeks has also been horrendous, due to many visits to hospital and specialists. And for those who care, my broken back cannot be operated on, far too much damage and deterioration and according to my latest MRI's and CT Scans, I have the spine of a 60 year old and an operation would be a waste of time, so its pain killers for the rest of my life. YAY. At least I dont have to work, not like I did that anyway, hehe.) But enough about that. As for that 99% stat, FUCK, I will be happy to get past 66.66%. Damn that 2 year sabbatical/holiday I took. Oh well, thems the breaks.

I think I did miss one deposit this update, right on the Metallica concert day. And I missed about three deposits this vacations. Meh, better than missing the whole month...

I shall level up by the next update and pass about 40 users or so. Climbing towards the top 1000! Maybe by the end of this semester I'll be there.

Oh, And I swore my deposit rate was lower than 80%. Damn the dial-up crimes! >:(

Well, that means I've got the 3rd highest deposit rate on this list - no-one with as much Experience as me has been this consistent :)

I believe that by this time next week, I will have conquered the top 150! How exciting!

The possibilities this month look pretty rosy as well - I could gain as many as 6 ranks over that period, so I'm going to push forward and make a stab at the new revided goal of the top 140 before my account birthday.

Cheers again :)

Like me. However if you set it exactly at 1024 it still will display a scroll bar at the bottom because of the side scroll bar taking up some px. You could just set it at some percentage and it will automatically fit the screen to whatever you set it at instead of fixing it at a certain width.

Anyways, still doing pretty good; lost some pace due to a storm causing me to miss deposits but I don't see anyone around who is in the 99% deposit rate around me. Ha!

100% FTW. Now why couldn't it have been like this from the start? Infact, I should go and set all archived updates to these width settings. However, take a look at the latest update now. You have a special mention for this brilliant suggestion.

Don't mention it. It looks great now. No scroll bar at the bottom and it should look the same for everybody, no matter what monitor size they are using. :)

I usually never post in the forums but I just have to tell you that I appreciate these uppdates since I'm such a statwhore. Keep it up :)
