Since Chaos-Bot had to be down (so dynamic freqsizes, greens, etc weren't goofing up the DZ settings), I don't have the precise population stats I usually have. Plutorus and I were taking notes, and what I saw was a peak of about 26-28 people on Saturday night which was pretty good. Last night (Tuesday) we had 26, which is good for a Tues, so that could be the carryover effect we hope to get from events to regular Chaos play. Overall, I'd say that population was consistently a little higher than average during the time it was in, but that is the expectation when settings are in for a short time and they are old favorite settings -- DZ has certainly been one of the most requested old SVS settings to make an appearance. And true to that, there were a lot of happy vets and a number of names we hadn't seen for a while <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Historically though, it was close to the average, decent weekend for the zone during the school year (summer is lower population, plus the population fluctuates quite a bit anyway) -- e.g. overall the week of Nov 30th was quite similar with a peak pop of 26. I'm glad people enjoyed it, and that hopefully we'll get more of those less frequent vistors stopping in during regular Chaos play.
DZ has always available in ?go dz
so anytime people would like, get a dueling thing going there <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Chaos of course has Speed at any players request 24/7. And Jackpot also runs continuously -- but _not_ with the extremely difficult JP settings (e.g. 0 bty start). We did that a long time ago to try and keep these classic SVS games alive and active in some form.
