Join the new world

This is to update my last article. It has been roughly 6 weeks since I threw my recruitment link out there to see what will happen, it has been 31 days since my last article. I will try to make its format as similar to the last article as I can so it will be easier to compare. These are the updated results as of Feb 9th, 2013 (Day 190😎:

347 People have joined this game using my link.

I have received 193.7 gold from level ups and medals gained by these people. I have 9 society builder medals worth 45 gold for a total of 238.7 gold.

Their average level is 6.14, down from 6.44 previously. The average amount of gold per invite counting my 9 society builder medals is roughly .69 gold. This is down from the .76 gold average from the previous article.
Players that don't make it past level 1 do not grant me any gold, excluding those player I made 1.45 gold per player that made it past level 1.

27% are level 10 or higher
18% are level 20 or higher
52% did not make it past level 1

Of those that made it past level 1
56% are level 10 or higher
38% are level 20 or higher

The level breakdown is:
level 1 52.45%
level 2 5.76%
level 3 5.76%
level 4 2.88%
level 5 2.59%
level 6 1.15%
level 7 0.86%
level 8 1.44%
level 9 0.29%
level 10 1.73%
level 11 1.15%
level 12 1.44%
level 13 0.29%
level 14 0.86%
level 15 0.86%
level 16 0.29%
level 17 1.15%
level 18 0.00%
level 19 0.58%
level 20 14.12%
level 21 2.88%
level 22 0.29%
level 23 0.86%


Level 20 is a natural (admin) barrier, it is the highest level you can reach in your first day, if you do not purchase gold to buy energy bars. This is why it is so much higher than the others excluding level 1.
236 of the 347 are still alive, though many have not been around long enough to be considered dead. Based on the alerts I receive when someone levels up or earns a medal I would estimate that perhaps 20 are still alive and active, it is very unlikely to be more than that.

Again more than half do not make it past level 1. It takes 10 experience to reach level 2 and less than a minute to do so. It seems to me half of the people that join this game quit and never come back after looking around for just a minute or so. If they stay and make it past level 1 you have a 56% chance of them reaching level 10 and that is the level they need to reach to count towards your society builder medal. Remember that level 20 is the highest they can reach in 1 day so they only need to get halfway to that.

While markets and the economy have collapsed this really is the best way to make money in this game. As stated above I made 238.7 gold so far with very little effort on my part, and this gold can go to support my lavish lifestyle.
