    Don’t judge me, I was 15 when I started. We were all a little extra intense in those days xD. Apparently I wanted to write out my faction letter.

Every day, players return after a short absence. Occasionally, players return after being away an extended time.

Here are a few people who have been away since before 2019 and have recently returned.


Thur 05:12:00- 04/06/2020

I figured out that I could find players who've returned any time since February by comparing to a backup copy of the database.

Here are returning players who last logged on prior to 1/1/2019 and are level 50 or higher

OR

last logged on a year ago and are level 90 or higher

Must have also logged on since 1-May-2020, so those who logged on once in Feb won't be listed.

Some like hydr0 are not listed because they logged on in the gap (hydr0 logged on Dec 2019)

Sorted by their last action before going inactive.

So this is based entirely off the gap between now and their previous login? Fair enough I guess but it misses out all the people that logged in from time to time but haven't played.

For example, I came back in Feb, after not playing since 2013.

https://www.torn.com/personalstats.php?ID=421718&stats=useractivity&from=All

Could you make a similar table based off actual playtime? although i guess that would only give you back to Dec 2011, so it would miss some of the true extent, like mr 08 up there.
mrtowelhead [421718] · #6
I know its not a contest, I just mean there are a lot of returning players, that aren't on the list :P SpeedSkater has just come back too, and I assume many others. That's why I asked about the possibility of a different metric.
CRLF [2095076] · #7
This metric will, going forward, work fine. I just started using it, and I have to catch the returning players at one specific point of my data refresh

It will only catch the ones who have joined a company or faction, though occasionally I might be able to pick up ones that have not joined either.
slap [2478831] · #9
More interesting facts. Looks like some people found Torn again maybe because of quarantine.
PimpChu [1284243] · #10
yeah this isnt really a true indicator. it appears almost all of them are less than casual players.

As mrtowelhead said, a fairer indication would be playtime.

i think of more interest would be those who have been well known who have recently come back. the SpeedSkateR's the mrtowelheads, even myself. names that would be instantly recognizable to most people.

with all due respect, i dont think anyone cares that jhughes12 with his 14hrs of game time in almost 12 years is back
SpeedSkateR [10106] · #11
I’m just here to say I’m back after 7 years of inactivity. I found an old SUN faction letter I wrote after my parents mailed me a box of Corona spring cleaning (in case any is dying to know why).

AwakeNoWokeFail [79965] · #18 · edited
I know why you actually wrote that letter.

I used to write long posts and mails. If you didn't post quickly, you would be logged out and lose everything. Very, very frustrating.

edit: I, too would love to see that letter.
