How much do you use the card database?
« on: January 28, 2011, 11:16:01 AM »
I'm not asking because I'm considering taking it away. :P

I'm asking because since I've started tracking statistics, the forums get about 1k page loads a day, but the card database gets... 15k-20k! :o

So... is it forum members or is it just the outside world that is using it so often?

I use it regularly, maybe 5-10 times a week.

I think it's mainly guests. I've heard that many people from different other forums and communities use it (it's such an interesting resource for anyone looking to know something of the game). Plus consider each time someone clicks on a card autolink in a message just to remember what the card does, which I think counts for A LOT.

I've seen several other websites using it and linking to it, and I can't imagine any serious player using that much because of Zorbec's so... yeah

I use it almost every day. Especially now that I've started trading. At first I used to see which card is which and what do they do. Now that I've practically memorized all the cards (at least in movie block) I use it to check the collector's number. It's much easier to come here and check it than going through the heaps of my cards.

Oh, and btw, I don't know if this is the right message, so please forgive me if I'm spamming. In the card Ugluk, Servant of Saruman (4R176) it says that it has a Lore and that the Lore says "I am Ugluk. I command." However the physical card nor the picture have any Lore, and what is even more curious, the version of Ugluk in MECCG has that very same Lore. Very strange, if this is a coincidence.

I use it pretty often too, probably couple times a day. Mainly because of links in threads and trade lists.

I have the autolink to show the card image. Does that count if I scroll down a deck list and it shows me 71+ cards?

No, these are actual page loads--I know because of the ads statistics. ;)

So the hover/autolink doesn't count in this case. :-k
