A few Random Statistics

So, we're coming close to yet another new years (yes, it's still too early for fireworks), so let's have a look at some fun statistics from TruckersMP and the game servers.

How many registered users do we have? Well, as of speaking (writing this) that number would be 1 790 245. But that is a huge number, and it's hard to get a feeling for how much it actually is, so for comparison, let's look at cities. According to Wikipedia's List of European Cities we now have more players than Budapest (Hungary) has citizens! Overtaking Vienna (Austria) next then?

However, this raises another question. Just how many players are active? Well, we can find that as well! Over a 30 day period in October and November (21.10.17 - 21.11.17) we had 319 255 unique players logging in. That is equal to about half the population of Oslo, or just about 10 000 less than the entire population of Iceland! All of these, spread out across our (currently) 9 game servers and event servers.

So, what has this community produced? Well, let's start right here on the forum, where 593 094 posts have been made by 30 818 forum users, and 136 134 users have registered on the forum in total since it was opened in October 2014. If your annual income (in USD) was equal to the total number of posts, that would mean you would be pretty wealthy. In fact, you'd be in the top 1% (and then some) in the United States of America, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Additionally, the member with most reputation on the forum (based on votes on their posts and statuses) as well as most content (posts + status updates), is Kravatie, with a reputation of 5538 and a content count of 8875.

Let's not forget all of the things produced outside of our forums. Let's not forget the radio stations, hundreds of Virtual Trucking Companies, or the countless developers in the community who are all working to help make TruckersMP great, and all help in bringing new players to join our community, as well as our public Discord guild which has reached 5 400 members.

Now, let's have a look at where our users are. In the 30 day period in October and November (21.10.17 - 21.11.17) the following % of active unique users logged in from:

  • 79.78% (or 283 116) from Europe.
  • 7% (or 24 826) from Asia.
  • 6.65% (or 23 588) from South America.
  • 5.86% (or 20 786) from North America.
  • 0.52% (or 1 848) from Oceania.
  • 0.2% (or 695) from Africa.

But running a large community has it's issues. Throughout the lifetime of TruckersMP, users have submitted 315 717 web reports against other players. 185 225 reports have been accepted, and 125 879 have been rejected, the rest are awaiting a response. This has lead to 102 428 ban appeals (not counting appeals via forum, before website appeals were available) regarding 87 914 bans. 18 607 appeals have been accepted, 74 735 declined, and 8 193 have lead to bans being modified.

Let's look at the in game chat. More specifically, how many times have certain words and phrases been mentioned in the October-November period (21.10.17 - 21.11.17)?

  • "Car": 12 236 times.
  • "Truck": 23 894 times (Looks like trucks are superior to cars).
  • "Trailer": 12 986 times.
  • "Discord": 28 954 times.
  • "Skype": 4 967 times (Confirmed, Discord > Skype. At least in chat).
  • "Calais": 15 296 times.
  • "Duisburg": 9 684 times.
  • "Noot": 413 times (we blame our staff member Penguin).

Thanks to all the 1,7 million users who have made TruckersMP into what it is today. Thanks to everyone who has decided to contribute to the community.
And thanks to all of our staff members, all 115 of you. The 18 moderators, and their leader. The 26 support staff, and their leader. The 11 media team members and their leader. The 43 in game admins, 5 trial admins, and their 6 leaders. And last but not least, the 6 community managers, 2 project managers, and 6 developers. All of them spend their free time working hard, so that TruckersMP can continue to exist.
