… it’s over nine thousand 700! We hit seven hundred downloads of the latest version of CNExtend tonight, which was released a week ago. With 29 thousand existing nations/players, I figure the absolute upper limit is 30% being Firefox users or 8700 players.
If we’re going to be conservative and say that 200 of those installs are duplicate installs (one user with multiple computers), then those 500 users are a little over 5% of the maximum install base. That might not seem like a huge amount at first, but reaching 100% would be nearly impossible given that many people find out about the extension through alliance forums or friends, which excludes casual players and those who don’t join alliances. Among those, many won’t bother to install for various reasons, whether concern about using a third party extension to already having an existing script or extension.
Given all that, the real maximum is probably in the 2000-3000 range, and to achieve that I’d probably have to implement some more interesting features (or finish a few existing ones).
Update: We passed 820 today, and they’re still trickling in. There should be an update pretty soon with the finished layout editor, depending on how fast I can finish the related documentation.
