#new interface

Year PTR has had a year for people to check it out and that helps but I find it interesting the number is so much higher than Blades which seems to be a more successful book and I wonder if a long the way Choices has lost casual players but kept the really engaged one (who are more likely to spend money), so we are seeing lower viewing numbers but it isn’t affecting the profits as much (though we do know profits were down last year).

Can someone who received the latest interface update like... post a screenshot?

Cause I keep seeing people complaining and I wanna know what it is about?

One of thing I find most interesting is the way the numbers go down from books 1 to 2. This is a common thing and I think I have even posted about it before. People aren’t going to jump into book two, the numbers aren’t going to go up.

The Feeshman book 1 has 43 million hits and Book 2 15 million hits, down to 1.4 million hits for the Junior. Numbers drop. People lose interest, earlier books get more replays, etc. TRR has had similar numbers from 29 million for Book 1 to 830k for TRH Book 1.

And of the original 3 books, TF has 43 million views, TC&TF 15 million and MW 8 million.

Platinum has 720K, while Sunkissed has 1.2 million. Yeah some of Sunkissed might be diamond mining but it was a lot less expensive to produce. As comparison ACoR has 1.4 million.

Now as I said, numbers are only part of the picture, money also matters and books with smaller audiences can have mroe devoted audiences that are more likely to spend, but I think you can see at least some of the picture with this new information.

So that screenshot was just of the first chapter of every book but each chapter would show their own numbers, the person just didn’t screenshot 1000+ chapters. But I know they showed the most recent chapter of TRH as an example (and TRH and Blades are the only updating books that have numbers, probably because they are each almost done).

I am certain replays count because they have said in the past that replays factors into their decision making. The Freshman had the advantage of being a starting book for a lot ick people for a long time, it’s been out for almost 4 years now. But at the same time it is interesting it has 5x as many plays as MW and almost 3x as many as TC&TF.

Blades has relatively low-ish numbers but obviously the people who are playing are investing in it, which is more important.

It’s different and this tumblr old timer is struggling to adapt.
