[Statistics] Sky Hero medals

Day 3,235, 11:32 Published in USA Germany by jerq

So, the air battle module has been live for a bit over two months now. Let's take a look at some statistics.

Since its introduction, the Sky Hero medal has been awarded 14 474 times (as of eDay 3,235 08:15). Each medal comes with a gold award of 30G, so in total 434 220 gold has been generated by SH medals.

List of individuals with most SH medals
1) Han Solo - 384 medals
2) priviticeruI numa praz - 279 medals
3) SFlorin - 278 medals
4) Ouibster - 224 medals
5) kopfnuss - 196 medals

The average eRepublik player has ~0,24 SH medals, so those are quite respectable numbers. If top5 has that many medals, this makes you wonder how are the rest medals distributed among the other players.

At least one SH medal has been awarded to 1105 profiles. This means that there are over 61k players without the medal.
We have to keep in mind that the sole purpose of creating air battles was to allow “allow new users to matter from their first days”. The fact is, that during the last two months less than 2% of players have been able to get the SH medal. One could argue that the game mechanics of the air battles are not balanced.

Here is a table depicting the distribution of AH medals. As a bonus, I added a column for the part of community that is excluded from the fun of receiving AH medals.




Has the new module been a success in your opinion? Can it be improved or should it just be removed?
