Need to Fix front page "hits" list.

AmazingAvery

On the front page in the listing for popular games based on hits under the 1 month tab we have:

As you can see it is out of order: not sure where to post this sorry. It also says 6 months at the bottom.

Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning 722,511 Unique Hits Genre: Fantasy     #2 City of Heroes 378,335 Hits     #3 Tabula Rasa 418,132 Hits     #4 EverQuest II 450,657 Hits     #5 Age of Conan 554,547 Hits     #6 Fury 244,314 Hits     #7 Pirates of the Burning Sea 416,397 Hits     #8 World of Warcraft 451,881 Hits     #9 Gods and Heroes 422,873 Hits     #10 Lord of the Rings Online 801,949 Hits   * Results based on unique hits over previous six months

I think they're actually ordered correctly, it's just that the numbers are those from the 6 months period, not 1 month.

Whose to say?! lol  Plus I  noticed how come the weekly ones go up and down?

Its like say in the weekly tab:  "game one" receives 100 unique hits over monday, tuesday, wednesday, but by thursday its only 50 unique hits (total so far) - how does that work? How can hits be taken off for a game - very fishy....

Heh, you're right, sometimes they lose hits. Fury sometimes has 271 hits and at other times only 268. Weird.

Anyway, just wanted to say that the "Year" tab has the same problem as the "1 Month".

Whoops... some of the counts for the different time periods were referencing other counts... should be fixed up now.  We're actually going to be pushing some changes to this area up this weekend which will add year counts as well.

 

The reason you might see differing counts if you refresh a page is that since the query to obtain this data from the database is fairly time intensive I've cached the data for approx 5 minutes between pulls.  So each web server in the farm will pull it's data at slightly different intervals causing the small discrepency in counts.

Thanks for the clarification

I don't know how I feel about the hits... as Gods and Heroes is currently front and center... because it's been put on indefinate hold. LOL yes its popular... just like the infamous are famous.
