	sure : G-Land is ther first one in the list now... When they changed the launcher, they disabled the 'auto-connect to last server' and the 'auto-select last server', so basically people ended with the list of server in the luncher and just pressed the big play button without looking at what server it was on : G-Land. Thus the high number of login... when the people discover their error, they logs out and logs back to their right server... but pavlovian reflexes and all makes it so a lot of people are still doing it.

	Looking at the quarterly graph, the G-land logins exploded a month before the expansion drop and launcher update.

Launcher was updated in like 18.2 not 19, right? I wouldn't really remember though since I don't use the turbine launcher other than for patching.

	Just illustrates why "logins" is flawed tracking mechanism. Not that there is a perfect mechanism. Just take all the stats with a grain of salt.

	OK I admit it. I was bored and kept logging in and out of the server. Well, I wasn't the program I wrote was when I was gone. Gonna do another random server in a few months to show it wasn't a fluke.

	I know i have logged into G-land way more often than I have ever wanted to because of the change to the launcher.

	I am actually more curious about why Orien has moved up very recently.

	I said I'd give free candy to people if they'd play with me on Orien.� It must have worked better than I thought. That does explain the sudden increase of noob talk in gen chat by unguilded lv1-6's I've been seeing lately though.
