Statistics Make Over Auxilio
When I clicked over the Statistics page, I quietly went on by and did not pay any special attention to it. Then something caught my eye, as well as the attention of many other players. Total money of the game dropped to just a little over $57 billion. Not only did the money receive an update, account count did as well. And so the total number of Legendary dons dropped to only 9! It really shows that they are becoming as rare as State dons.

But how was all of this made possible? When asking Sabin about the update, he kindly replied that banned players are now excluded from the count. Even though they were supposed to be excluded from the beginning, something went wrong when the Ban system received its make-over and the banned players were a part of the count yet again. After noticing the error, Sabin corrected the mistakes made and now we are able to see the true statistics of Bootleggers.

In some cases, it may even be scary. As we can now see what the true aftermath of the recent killing sprees really is. Not only can we see the low amount of Legendary dons, but also a fairly low count of other ranks. As the current count of Respectable dons is higher by only 50, making it reach a total of 59 players.

Previously we were only given the count of current certain ranks and the percentage the number represents. Now we are also able to see the total amount the ranks of Godfather - Nation don. Yes, Nation don and State don ranks were also added to the count. And when someone made a comment in the game forum as to why the State don and Nation don count was added, as one could easily just look at the States page, Sabin said that it way added so that players could see exactly how many players have reached these ranks in the past.

Well it looks like the small additions just keep on coming to Bootleggers, and it just goes to show, the Staff does listen to Feature Suggestion tickets and actually try to make our lives easier.
