Notes:
One of the new accounts above (also a >30 account) was new staff member Draugr. Welcome, Draugr!

13 players submitted an application, had it accepted, but never logged in to play. That number feels unusually high; it was like 3 last month. I'm noting it here to keep an eye on it next month.

I'll have to google N+1 and see what that is, never heard of it!

Great stats, indicates that the category in which the highest percentage of people stuck around for more than 30 minutes was referral from friends.

Also should be noted, that the new account doesn't mean a new player. IIRC when you are added as a staff member, you get a special staff account so you can do staff stuff. So the new guy (welcome!) might have been a player for the past 10 years  but only now has his very own brand sparkly new staff account.

Correct, that's why I called it out. It isn't that we picked a brand new guy and made him staff, just since a staff member is a "new" account, they're reflected in these numbers.
