Khyber - May Guild Renown Review

[jkm]

As usual please take this information as entertainment only. I'm not trying to brag or whatnot just Khyberize Vanshilar's excellent guild horse race thread. Notes - this is actually from 5-1/5-30 since i have time today but not the rest of the week. blah blah blah

Top 12 Guilds (Total Renown) - Renown Growth over Time



Top 10 Guilds (Net Renown May)



Top 10 Single Days in May



All Guilds Level 50+ (Net Renown May over Time)




Special Section - Renown Decay/Growth

This is the renown growth of all guilds by guild size (using members -> 150 small/151-500 Medium/500 Large only level 50+ guilds surveyed)



This is the what the renown looks like by type. By looking at this, you would determine 2 things -> 1 small guild bonus is too high and large guild decay is too big. However, there is a problem child big guild in these numbers who tends to punt people every 4-5 days. By taking them out, we get...



Now all of a sudden it looks like Large/Mediums are in line with each other. Although the power of large guilds should be noted on the weekend of a new Mod launch. Now what if we take the 5 problem child guilds out (Wanderlust, Gimpin, Pilchards, DD, Dragonblood)

The thread says "May" but all the charts and everything in the post says "April." (Revised - not everything says May but several spots.)

Wow, Pilchards -- that is some awesome renown gathering for the month.

Great work on the charts! Thanks for doing this.

Oh, and we resent being called a "problem child"

Oh, I belong to one of them as well (Gimpin). I call them problem children because they break the mold on the guild renown formula and cause the bigger guilds to scream about decay. If you take kalevala out of the equation the rest of the small guilds are actually lower than large and medium guilds as far as renown generation. I do have one more pet project, which is to combine Gimpin/Pilchards/Wanderlust together and see how much base renown they pulled compared to any of the larger guilds.

[somerecluse]

DD has had half or more of its members very inactive for the month of may. most of them are just now returning to playing like machines though
think its rl things mixed with the release of new games (witcher 2). i for one have been crafting a lot

[somerecluse]

na im jk i didnt really get one. hahahaaaaaaa

Laeris was telling me the other day that he has some plat farmers working for him over at the pilchards.. Well not really, but kind of or at least there is some speculation. I have been trying to keep up the Prophet's flag hitting the Epic Dq1 chest sacks with 11 character or so and a bunch of the guys are levelling like maniacs and looting the renown. Darn Wanderlust plays all day and night the sickos saw some on last night leading a raid at like U.S. primetime bah Aussie/Kiwi grrr. Got to win the Khyber renown title for the U.S.A. except my guild leader is Canadian so we are winning this one for Canada haha..

[Milfeulle]

My guild is consider a very small guild (9 people) thus the bonus earned from guild reown is 3.54x normal (used to be 4x couple months ago with only 6 people in the guild).

Wanderlust #1 so why try harder ?

What I find interesting is that Loreseekers has a remarkably constant rate of increase across the couple of months that these data have been posted. Slow but steady.

I am wondering if that has much to do with our size.

It is my understanding that the Guild Renown Decay is a function the total number of active accounts in the guild as opposed to the number of "members" (on MyDDO Guild Leaderboards) which I take as number of characters/toons in the guild.

We have 184 active (or relatively so) members (actual people playing) and according to the MyDDO Guild Leaderboard we have 837 "members" or toons in the guild. Granted about 60 of those are just myself and one other officer, Flint, so I'm hoping I'm looking at these numbers right. That's just over 4.5 toons per account in the guild, not counting toons in other guilds, and none of that is counted as concerns renown, yes? Just the number of Player-Accounts, right?

The reason I'm asking, is that we are considering various and sundry means to increase our accumulation of renown without downsizing one bit in order to, hopefully, get to level 85 sooner rather than later. This means contests, guild events, mostly some sort of incentive for renown gathering, because at the moment Decay hits us very hard, but it is because we get such a hard hit that I am impressed, really, with the steady rise shown by these data.

Any advice or comments are welcome. If you want to just talk to me, instead of clumping up this thread, feel free to PM me here, or hit me up on our GuildPortal site.

I know you did it for entertainment puposes only just wondering how Harbor Rats earning 2.5 million went unnoticed. We started may at Lvl 48 and just hit 55 the other day which is a significant amount of renown.

Hunkajunk, Rustedjunk, Imafathafling, Surpikesalot, Anklebites, Barteredjunk.

The main reason is that for most of the month, you were outside of the threshold of the pull (first 3 pages). At first I was only pulling in the top 2 pages, but I expanded it to 3 this last month (which ended at level 51). So for May I have you hitting the bottom of page 3 on 5/21 at level 52 (7,247,711 renown).
