Total Dryad Sales: 82801
as of 2011-09-19 22:00:00

This figure includes only Dryad Nests actually removed from the Pillars. Normal player behavior is to immediately remove the Nest to check the coat. It should, however, be considered only an estimate because, while unlikely to produce a significant variance, normal starters are included in the total, and Dryad Nests not yet removed from the Pillars are excluded.

With the termination of Dryad sales on 2011-09-19, I will return to my previous data collection methods.

For me, this means I will no longer need to be physically at the computer at midnight to capture starter sales numbers.

For the Meeroo Breeding Population Estimate, it means that tonight's numbers will reflect a one-time artificial increase of approximately 200; which roughly matches the one-time artificial decrease which occurred on Aug 28th when I started tracking starter sales nightly.

As with last month, the population is presently declining at a rate of approximately 1,000 Breeding Meeroos per day. On the scale of the graphs I produce, this will produce a barely-noticeable wiggle which is far less than the day-to-day variance in the estimates.
