Generation OMEGA - False Review...?
« on: Nov 05, 2011, 04:43 pm »
Now, normally, I wouldn't really care about this, especially considering I love this server, but, come on.

In this screenshot, you can see that the server only has one review, that one review said there was ONE THOUSAND players.


In this screenshot, you can see that there is only ONE player on, and, if you ask me and the other players, I've never seen more than 8 at a time.


The person that reviewed went WAY over. Especially considering one, the server just reopened just a couple days ago, and two, the server is deserted most of the time.

If you need anymore, just tell me, I'll take more screenshots.

The population median is collected from exactly 1 review as stated there.  That is why that field is not made searchable because with a small sample side it can be very inaccurate.  The sample size is stated right there for anyone to see how believable the number is.

I and those that pay attention to the number shouldn't be too worry about that.  A server having one review is not a big deal, if you are a player you write an honest review and states what you see that there is only 1 player you normally see online.  The number will suddenly drop to 500~501.  With another honest review from somebody else, the number will become 1 (median from 1000, 1, 1 is 1).

Unless they plan to only have one review which it isn't the purpose of our review system, it is not sustainable and not going to give them any advantage.  Just shows the first review is probably written by the owner/staff (one review from anyone on the server is allowed).
